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":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello, I was recently working on a mini design project which required the use of ANSYS and as I have a MacBook and ANSYS is a windows only software, I have Parallels installed to run it.
