SuCri – Checking system requirements

So that you can use the SuCri software reliably and at full performance, your system should meet the following requirements. An optimal hardware configuration ensures that even complex constructions can be processed in the CAD environment without delays.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation, make sure the following software components are pre-installed and ready for operation on your system:

  • Autodesk Plant 3D (version 2024 or newer)
  • Autodesk Advance Steel (version 2024 or newer)
  • .NET Framework 4.8

Step-by-step guide

Check your hardware specifications using the following steps to ensure basic compatibility for SuCri:

  1. Step 1: Compare system components

    Compare your existing hardware with the minimum values below:

    • Operating system: Windows 10 (64-bit) or higher
    • Processor: Intel Core i5 or comparable
    • Memory (RAM): 8 GB
    • Graphics card: DirectX 11 compatible, at least 2 GB VRAM
    • Hard disk space: 5 GB free space

  2. Step 2: Check the software environment

    Make sure the required Autodesk products are licensed and started in the correct version. SuCri integrates directly into these host applications.

Expected result: If your system meets these values, SuCri can be started successfully and used for basic tasks.

Important notes

For large projects or complex steel constructions, we recommend the following optimized configuration for a smooth workflow:

  • Processor: Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 (or better)
  • Memory (RAM): 16–32 GB
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX series or comparable with at least 6 GB VRAM
  • Hard disk space: SSD with at least 20 GB free space
  • Screen resolution: 1920 × 1080 or higher (Full HD)

Also note the following aspects regarding infrastructure:

  • Network access: A stable internet connection is required for automatic updates and optional functions.
  • Licensing: Activation of SuCri is done via a license key that is bound directly to your specific Autodesk environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Problem: The application responds very slowly with large models.
    Solution: Check whether your system meets the recommended requirements (in particular RAM and VRAM). Make sure the current graphics card driver from the manufacturer is installed.
  • Problem: The software will not start even though the hardware is sufficient.
    Solution: Verify that the .NET Framework 4.8 is correctly installed and that the supported Autodesk versions (2024 or newer) are active on the system.
