Before you begin installing

This chapter covers a single-host installation of NETVIBES OnePart on a 64-bit server running on Microsoft Windows Server.

This page discusses:

Files

To install OnePart you need the following files:

  • The OnePart installation kit – download it or copy it from the DVD.

  • A valid license file cvlicense.dat or .lic . To request a license, go to http://www.3ds.com/terms/software-keys/. You must enter a valid ASCII path to the license file. There is a 256 character limit.

    For customers who purchased NETVIBES OnePart through their SOLIDWORKS value added reseller (VAR), please contact your VAR for licenses. After installation, license information for the number of active and licensed users is available in the OnePart menu, Help > About OnePart.

    Note: You must enter a valid ASCII path to the license file. There is a 256 character limit.

Permissions

To do this task

You need these permissions

Launch the Windows command line (cmd.exe)

Administrator

Install OnePart

Administrator, plus:

Write permissions for the installation directory, OR

Create permissions on the installation directory if it doesn't already exist

Import files during set up

Hardware

The hardware recommendations for a production or test system depend on data volume and user traffic.

However, OnePart can be deployed on a workstation or small server for demo/training purposes when performance and availability are not requirements. In this case (less than 5,000 files, totaling less than 5GB), OnePart can usually be installed and run on a 8GB RAM, multi-core Windows machine with 20GB of available disk space (SSD preferred). Do not forget to turn off the anti-virus on the OnePart folder!

For more details, see the Server recommendations

Operating systems

We highly recommend installing OnePart on a dedicated 64-bit Windows Server (X86_64) server running one of the following platforms:

  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2016

For more details, see the Windows requirements.

3DEXPERIENCE integration

You must install the same version of OnePart as the 3DEXPERIENCE version. For example, if you're running the 3DEXPERIENCE platform R2021x FD01, then OnePart must also be R2021x FD01.
