3.2. Recommended Settings for Hull

The performance of CADMATIC Hull on a customer site depends on various network, hardware and
software related factors. In addition to the minimum system requirements, consider the following
recommendations.
l Network setup: Make sure that both the Hull server and workstations are set up for at least
1Gb of LAN speed. It is recommended that the file server has even more bandwidth (2-10Gb),
to avoid bandwidth saturation of the server's LAN connection by one workstation.
l Server memory: Windows Server uses standby RAM memory for file caching (Mapped File).
You should keep at least 4GB memory as free memory.
l Disk performance on both workstation and server: Performance may suffer if a non-hardware
RAID controller is used, because the handling of small data blocks will be less efficient than
with hardware with RAID controllers. It is recommended to use a RAID controller that has
onboard cache.
l Virus Scanner: Make sure the scanner on the workstation does not scan network drives.
Normally small parts from database files are transferred over the network. The virus scanner
will cause the whole files to be transferred over the network because the whole file will be
scanned locally and will cause major delays. Also, set nctmppath to C:\TEMP and exclude this
folder from virus scans.

3.3. Hull Issue with Windows 10 update KB4103721

We have discovered a networking issue with workstations running CADMATIC Hull under Windows
10 Operating System version 1803 that have the KB4103721 update installed. Although KB4103721
was rolled out already on May 8th 2018, and Microsoft has released further updates since, the issue
still persists. The issue with the KB4103721 update also affects other manufacturer's software that
write data from workstations to databases.

Due to the issue with the KB4103721 update, problems could occur with Hull construction and
logistical databases. The update has changed the operation of the network file cache so that writing
of data from workstations to databases is delayed, affecting file sharing and potentially causing data
integrity issues.

The issue can be resolved either on the server side or on the client side (all workstations with
KB4103721 installed).
l The downside of the client side solution is that it may slow down the network performance of
the workstations. You might also have several workstations to deal with.
l The downside of the server side solution is that you must restart the server, but on the other
hand network performance (speed) of the workstations is not affected, and changes to
workstations are not needed.

The alternative methods are described below, and we advise you to apply one of them.

3.3.1. Resolving the Issue on the Server Side

To resolve the issue on the server side you need to set the SMB Service configuration so that the
Lease caching mechanism is disabled. You disable Lease on the server that is hosting the database
that stores your CADMATIC Hull project data. Please note that you must restart the server for the
change to take effect.

Note: Because SMB version 2/3 is required, the server must be running Windows Server 2012 R2
or 2016, Standard or Datacenter.

1. On the server, open an elevated Windows Powershell prompt (run Powershell as an

Administrator).
2. Run the following command:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableLeasing $False
3. Restart the server.

CADMATIC System Requirements and Example Hardware Configuration 9

Release 2023T3
CADMATIC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

Before and after running the command you can view the current setting with this command:
l Get-SmbServerConfiguration -fl EnableLeasing

3.3.2. Resolving the Issue on the Client Side

To resolve the issue with the KB4103721 update on the client side you need to reduce the delay in
writing data from workstations to databases. You do this by editing two Windows Registry settings
on all workstations that run CADMATIC Hull and have the Windows 10 1803 KB4103721 update
installed, even if newer updates were installed since. On workstations that do not have this specific
update installed, no action is required.

You can use either Windows Powershell or Windows Registry Editor to edit the settings. Brief
instructions for both cases are presented below.

Note: As always, before editing registry settings, you are strongly advised to back up the registry.

Windows Registry values to edit:

l DirectoryCacheLifetime: Set to 0 seconds.
l FileInfoCacheLifetime: Set to 0 seconds.

3.3.2.1. Using Windows Powershell

You can set the two values with these Powershell commands:
l set-smbclientconfiguration -DirectoryCacheLifetime 0
l set-smbclientconfiguration -FileInfoCacheLifetime 0

Before and after changing the values you can view the current settings with this command:
l get-smbclientconfiguration

3.3.2.2. Using Windows Registry Editor

Open the Registry Editor by executing regedit, and navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters

Add the following two entries, both with the value dword:00000000, if they do not already exist:
l FileInfoCacheLifetime
l DirectoryCacheLifetime

4.1. 3D Performance in Plant and Outfitting

Starting from version 2016T3 of CADMATIC software, the Plant and Outfitting modules use a
completely redesigned 3D visualization engine that utilizes hardware-accelerated graphics. The
main benefits to 3D designers include more realistic lighting and shading effects, and faster
rendering of shaded views. Each user can select to use one of the pre-configured visualization
modes that are optimized for either designing the model or presenting the model, or they can
customize the settings to suit their individual preferences.

In general, the runtime performance of a computer doing 3D rendering depends on various factors:
the size and the complexity of the 3D model; the number of individual 3D objects in the design; and,
the choice of computer hardware such as the CPU, RAM, disks, and the graphics card. In regard to
the graphics card, the type of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) that it has is especially important.

The rendering of shaded views relies heavily on the performance of the GPU. There have been
significant advances in GPU development in recent years, and the CADMATIC visualization kernel
has been optimized to utilize the technologies that in 2016 were available in mid-range GPUs. The
base requirement for the GPU is that it supports the OpenGL 3.3 standard that was released already
in 2010.

The graphics card used with CADMATIC software does not need to be a high-end model, but it
should be relatively modern. In our tests, for example NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 installed in a
desktop computer performed well with all Plant/Outfitting 3D models we were able to test.

Note, however, that wireframe mode does not use the new visualization engine. In wireframe views
the computer’s performance in for example hidden line removal should be the same as before.

4.1.1. How to Ensure Good 3D Performance

The minimum setup depends on the intended usage, and on the complexity of the design models
that typically need to be handled. If you are planning to invest in new hardware, or just want to
know if your current hardware matches the current requirements of CADMATIC software, consider
the following recommendations:
l Make sure that the computer has enough RAM. The more RAM, the better.
l Check the specifications of the GPU of the graphics card to ensure that it has a decent
amount of processing power and dedicated memory, and that it supports the required
version of OpenGL.

CADMATIC System Requirements and Example Hardware Configuration 13

Release 2023T3
CADMATIC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

l CADMATIC can recommend graphics cards that are based on an NVIDIA GPU and that have
adequate 3D performance. Quadro GPU based NVIDIA graphics cards, however, have been
found to not add any extra benefit to users of CADMATIC software; graphics cards that do not
have a Quadro GPU are usually less expensive and yet provide the same level of 3D
visualization performance.
l Update the drivers of the graphics card to ensure that there are no known bugs that might
slow down or even crash the application. Nowadays most graphic cards have an automatic
check for new driver versions, but sometimes the automatic update has been disabled to
prevent too frequent or otherwise unwanted updates.
l Perform some real-life rendering tests with the latest Plant Modeller and the biggest 3D
models that you expect to be using.

4.2. Citrix VDI

CADMATIC Plant, CADMATIC Outfitting, and CADMATIC P&ID have been verified to be usable in
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops VDI environments, via centrally delivered 3D graphics (HDX 3D Pro).

These are the software requirements for using CADMATIC software via Citrix:
l CADMATIC Plant/Outfitting version 2023T3 or newer.

Important: In Plant Modeller and P&ID, the user must select the Direct cursor mode option
in File > Options > User Settings > User Interface.

l Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version 7 1808. (Earlier versions might also work.)
l Citrix Hypervisor host for virtualized desktops/applications with NVIDIA GRID vGPU. (Azure
NV6 tested.)

However, every VDI environment is unique—the prevailing network conditions, the application
being virtualized, and the expected user experience dictate the performance requirements and the
optimization needs. Therefore, always refer to relevant documentation provided by Citrix when
setting up and optimizing your specific VDI environment. Generally, the same principles apply as
with any CAD/CAM/CAE application virtualization.

11.2. Example Hardware Configuration for Large Scale

Use
The following example hardware configuration is intended to provide adequate system
performance when there are 30 active or 100 active projects in the system, with about 400 design
users and 400 project review and management users simultaneously using the software. The overall
storage has been calculated for 300 projects. Active project means simultaneous and continuous
work (CAD), or access to project data, i.e. non-CAD users (Information Management/eShare). Each
project is calculated to contain an estimated 1,5 M parts. Dual redundancy HW has not been
included (backup system and storage).

Unless otherwise noted, CADMATIC software is intended to be installed on the Microsoft Windows
operating system of a standard PC-type computer. We cannot ensure compatibility if Microsoft
Windows is installed, for example, in an Apple computer.

If you are planning to use hardware or software that significantly differs from what is outlined
below, we recommend you to contact CADMATIC first.
