However I was having severe rendering issues and was wondering if it would be a problem with the specs of the laptop or the fact that I was running ANSYS on Parallels. <\/p>\n<p>These are my 2020 MacBook specs: 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB, 8GB RAM.<\/p>\n<p>Would ANSYS run flawlessly on a higher spec MacBook like one with the M3 Pro chip or would it be more wise to just get a windows laptop.<\/p>\n<p>The first picture is how it should be rendering which I did on a friends laptop, and the second one is how mine appears, if you look carefully you can kind of see a bit of the mesh. The third and fourth picture are in the designmodeler which is another issue, while in &#8220;model view&#8221; the structure does not show however when changing to the &#8220;print review&#8221; tab, the structure shows as it should.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/13-12-2023-1702430775-447c17966eb3c769af6bd59ac6a24d30.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/13-12-2023-1702430795-8accbe2730e892f83722fe622b5083a9.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/13-12-2023-1702430849-480a29f81c2c733c94fdeed094ccf042.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/13-12-2023-1702430862-b334cea6f76d51c5f4c568fe035c78dc.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-338307","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["302273","17373"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["10529"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["338307"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27810"],"_bbp_engagement":["17373","302273"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["355873"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["355873"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-03-07 12:06:07"]},"test":"at01757surrey-ac-uk"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/338307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/338307\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
