  Hi, everyone in this community.
  Could you please help me to find ANSYS requirements. I am going to do some simulation in the field of wind turbines and I would like to buy new laptop .
  What is the best specification ( processor , Ram, graphic card,....etc) which is met with my simulation? And could any one recommend type of laptops( Dell, Hp, ...etc)

  First thing first, are you going to use the ANSYS Student (free) version or you have some academic licenses ?
  
  If the former is the case, your model size will be restricted.
  
  Thanks,

  For student version pretty much anything that's OK for gaming will work, you just need to check the graphics card. If you already have a laptop try the software on that first. Supported hardware https://www.ansys.com/solutions/solutions-by-role/it-professionals/platform-support Note, we don't have a Mac build for those poor Apple addicts.
  
  The reason for checking the licence is that you can only use 512k cells, so (roughly) will only use 1-2GB RAM maximum. With unlimited cell count (Research or Commercial keys) solving over a billion (10^12) cells is becoming common, but not yet routine.
