Hi,

It is not possible to install Yade directly on Windows platforms, but you can install a virtual machine (e.g. VMWare) and create a virtual environment for yade (e.g. ubuntu).

Regards,

Christian

yes, me too. but only for small tests. I dont think that calculation power is really the same as in a native operating system.

@eugen:

right, using a VM for simulations is like driving a car with tightend handbrake ...

or like running a 100k particle simulation on a netbook, not that I would ever try such a thing ;)

Thanks Christian, wangxiaoliang, and Eugen.
I'm planning to use around 10k particles..
so i think the best option will be to make my computer a double boot.

Can you help with this problem?
