Performance Issues

A Citrix Server implements a virtualization environment that uses an emulated graphics card instead of a native hardware 3D CAD Workstation graphics card. This means that all clients running Smart Review in Citrix will notice a severe degradation in performance because Smart Review cannot take advantage of full hardware acceleration on this emulated graphics card. 

Prerequisites

Citrix Prerequisites:

Before you install any Hexagon Enterprise software on a Citrix server, you must install and configure Citrix software and the corresponding prerequisites on the server. See the Citrix documentation for more information.

Prerequisites:

To run Smart Review on a Citrix server, you must install the same prerequisite software that is required for the product to run on a desktop client system. Make sure that any prerequisite software installations are matched to the operating system. All patches or products should be in accordance with administrative guidance. For more information about software prerequisites for Smart Review, see Workstation.

To install software on a Citrix server, you must log on with an account that has administrator level access and use the Change User Mode option to set the Terminal Server in the Installation mode or use the Control Panel.

Special Hardware Requirements:

See the Citrix documentation for system hardware for the Citrix server. Smart Review requires at least 500MB of RAM for each concurrent user. This is in addition to the RAM required for Windows and Citrix. A server running Smart Review with fewer than six concurrent users will require at least 4 GB of RAM. If 6 to 10 users will be accessing the system, 6 GB of RAM will be required. These are minimum requirements. Large work environments will require additional RAM.
