SatGen is a CPU-intensive application, however, most modern PCs are capable of running it.
- Windows 10
- A 64-bit CPU
- A 4-core CPU (depending on the application)
The speed of the PC will affect the time it takes SatGen to create a simulation file.
- If you want to quickly simulate multiple signals across different frequency bands, we recommend that you use a PC with a CPU that has at least 8 cores. The time it takes to generate the file will reduce significantly if you use a faster CPU, for example, one with 16 or 32 cores.
- If you want to simulate L1 signals only, we recommend a CPU with at least 4 cores.
NOTE
SatGen simulations can take several times longer to create than the duration of the simulation that is being created.
When performing realtime simulations, the speed of the PC will determine the number of signals and satellites that can be simulated.
- If you want to simulate a single constellation, we recommend a CPU with at least 4 cores.
- If you want to simulate multiple constellations, we recommend a CPU with at least 8 cores.
