Q: What is the status of AUTODYN on Windows XP x64 (AMD64/EM64T processors)?
A1: AUTODYN 11.0 and AUTODYN 11.0 Service Pack 1 support running on Windows XP x64, but AUTODYN runs as a 32-bit process while other Workbench modules run as native 64-bit applications.
A2: The 64-bit version of AUTODYN is also installed under the "winx64" subdirectory, but it is still in beta status.
A3: Support of 64-bit Windows for AUTODYN is tentatively planned for release 12.0. (For parallel processing, WMPI II will be used, and Meshing->AUTODYN should work similar to 32-bit case.)
==========
Q: How does this affect a user with Windows XP x64?
A1: When running AUTODYN in parallel, the user must install the 32-bit version of WMPI 1.6.1, *not* the 64-bit version of WMPI 1.6.1. Instructions are outlined in the AUTODYN "Parallel Tutorial" available from the Customer Portal, as well as Solution #579466.
A2: Going from Workbench Meshing to AUTODYN directly is not supported yet. See Solution #610090 for a work-around.
A3: If a user is only running AUTODYN on their PC, installing the 32-bit version of Workbench is an alternative since, then, Meshing->AUTODYN ("Proceed to AUTODYN") is available. However, note that to use the Geometry Interface plug-ins with DesignModeleror WB Meshing, the user must install the 32-bit version of their CAD system as well.
