Hardware for simultanous multi-client workstation and licensing

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I am looking to build a single workstation for Fusion 360 that will be used by multiple users (max 4 simultanously).

The users will connect via RDP probably, but I'm open for more performant suggestions.

The workflow will include sketching, drawing and constructing mainly low to medium complex models and exporting to G-Code.

 

I'm a little confused by the cloud based term used for Fusion 360 as in how much processing is done in the cloud. Also I'm not sure which licensing model I will need to use, I guess it probably has to be network licenses.

 

As for the hardware, I am planning to go for a high clock speed CPU with at least 8C/16T, RAM of 32GB or more and a GPU with 8-12GB of VRAM.

 

Would these specs allow 3-4 users to simultanously work on the same machine? I don't expect the average workload to be too heavy, though I have zero experience with Fusion 360 yet and sometimes there will be a user working on more complex models.

 

Any input and feedback is appreciated. As a side note: The workstation is intended to be placed in the production office and the users will most times work from outside the office, therefore connect to the workstation to work on there (I have no interest getting 4+ workstations for each user at home or wherever they work from).

 

Thanks in advance!

No one that can tell me if the mentioned hardware will suffice for 3-4 users of Fusion 360 on the same machine? As I have said I have no experience with the software yet and no one in the team either.

 

So, as of today, for the CPU I'm tending towards the Intel i9-10850K, 10C/20T, and for RAM 64GB. GPU I'm not sure yet, but as I said, looking for 8-12GB VRAM.

 

3-4 Users simultanously working on the machine on different users - will this work?
