Hello everyone,
I have a quick question!
I know that for a computer on which we do our work, it takes a minimum of 3.3 GHz and a graphics card certified with Windows 10 to do a problem-free job for the operation of SolidWorks, but would there be a person (like a PDM server specialist ) or a person who knows the SolidWorks really well? field, who can tell me about the operation of Solidworks in network.
What kind of computer does it take that will perfectly support the SolidWorks PDM server , all for 5 pcs.
Here's what you see on the server screen
Right now, we have something really archaic.
-VHware ESXI (VMKernel Release Build 13635690)
-Lenovo ThinKSystem ST550-7x10ct01ww
- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4110 CPU@2.10 Ghz
- 63.7 GIB Memory
For my part, I think it's like putting a 2 HP engine in a Dragster
we have a lot of problems,
-Crash in rating
-crash when opening a sketch
-crash in backup
-etc. etc. etc..
And guess what, the boss doesn't care, but you have to be productive, productive, productive.
With an answer, I could put it under his nose that it's a ... Who doesn't want to pay for ideal tools.
Thank you very much in advance
P.S. a cousin from Quebec, sorry if my French isn't at the top
The EPDM specialists will arrive tonight or tomorrow morning (Paris time), given the time difference, returns at about the same time.
I'm not an EPDM specialist but seen like this the machine doesn't seem aberrant for work (dual-processor, a lot of RAM).
The bugs you report (pb soting, sketch) are not related to the server but to the working machines.
My experience in terms of SW/EPDM/network cohabitation: you need a good infrastructure (gigabit from one end to the other). EPDM is just file transfer and a database, with 5 people you are not ready to panic it.
Is this server dedicated to EPDM? I think that is an important point.

Thank you very much for these few clarifications.
Hello
Your configuration is downright good compared to the one used where I am. ( 1x Xeon @2.1Ghz + 8gb ram ) and our server serves for the whole company (EPDM, ERP, pointing, and everything else).
In terms of using PDM, we are 3 heavy users for CAD and 4 others mainly for documentation (pdf, Excel..). And we don't have any real problems apart from a network, a little slow due to the fact of a slightly old installation.
Hello
A big thank you for your cooperation, but we think we have found part of the problem, with SolidWorks specialists here in Quebec who are Solidexpert doing a remote verification with their online service.
The problem would come from the fact that we have a library of rooms outside the vault that has never been integrated
To be continued, one of their specialists will travel to supposedly settle this.

"vault", is it the equivalent of the English term "Vault"?
So outside EPDM?
Hello Stefbeno,
Really sorry for the delay. The vault refers to the place where all the files related to the PDM service are located, extraction of all files, archiving, etc...
