  I Have NVIDIA tesla K40 and NVIDIA Quadra M4000 with 8 GB Ram on my workstation. Is this adequate? How is each of the above components contribute to solution process?
  
  Is there documentation showing how to use the product?

  Hello bogdan
  - You can run Discovery Live compatibility utility and see if the graphics cards are compatible for running ANSYS Discovery Live.
  - Currently, use of dual graphics cards is not supported.
  - There are several videos in Knowledge base which will help you get started with Discovery Live.

  Here are the results after running the compatibility tool. Since I have two devices, how is this going to work with Discovery? Which one will be used?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Bogdan

    bogdan Discovery Live will use 1 GPU for the solver and 1 for the graphics. It can be determined by its physical location in the PC or when you launch the product. Please review this post existing Hardware is adequate?
