RSTAB 9 with Parallels Desktop 26 for Mac

I was directed to this page by my teacher.

https://www.dlubal.com/de/support-und-schulungen/support/faq/005292

I followed the instructions and ran Enable Software Renderer.cmd. After that, RSTAB 9 kept crashing at 9% (during visualization). Now I started it without the MESA Software Renderer, and the program no longer crashes.

Do I now have certain limitations, or will this otherwise lead to problems?

Thank you very much for your feedback

Hello LoDuude,

first of all, a warm welcome to our community.

For running RSTAB 9 under a current version of Parallels Desktop, no MESA renderer is necessary. Especially on the Mac with ARM processor, I advise against it because the MESA renderer consumes a lot of computing power.

RSTAB runs smoothly under Parallels Desktop. Sometimes there are minor issues with the display of nodes.

I usually use RFEM and RSTAB in Coherence Mode. That works very well.

If you use the Dlubal Center, I recommend switching to full-screen mode.

In general, it is advisable to connect a mouse for operating RSTAB. Operation with the touchpad is not well suited for RSTAB and RFEM.

Let me know if problems occur while working on the Mac. I have been working on a MacBook with RFEM and RSTAB for several years and therefore have some experience with it.

Have fun working with RSTAB!

Frank
