Hello

Does someone have experience running Analytica on virtualized Windows on Arm (i.e., in Parallels) on an Apple Silicon (M-series) powered Mac? I don't like the idea of owning and working with two physical computers.

Thank you in advance

🖖 — Live long and prosper

Hi Andreas,

Yes, our CEO actually used a parallel from a MAC for some time. 

Analytica does not run on MacOS. But, it does run on a Macintosh, using Parallels or VMWare to run Windows. Many Mac users run Analytica for Windows under VMWare Fusion or Boot Camp Assistant. However, Boot Camp or VMWare Fusion, you will need a copy of the Windows Operating System.

Bootcamp comes free with the MacOS, and lets you boot up the Mac to run Windows. The difference with VMWare Fusion is that it lets you run the MacOS and Windows simultaneously. 

Hope this helps! 

I will ask around to see if there are other options not listed above.

Best,

Mitzu

I second what Mitzu said, but would also add that I have never heard of anyone running Analytica on an Arm processor. Not that anyone would tell me if they successfully did. This would be a good one for someone in our community who has tried it on Windows running on Arm to chime in -- anyone? Andreas -- if you have parallels running already, I invite you to install Analytica Free to see, you could probably answer this question in about 2 minutes (assuming you already have Parallels running), and then let us know what you find out here. Thanks!

Download Free Analytica


    We hate spam as much as you. We won't share your email with third parties.
    The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
    • intuitive visual modeling with influence diagrams
    • the convenience and power of Intelligent Arrays
    • managing risk and uncertainty with fast Monte Carlo
    • sharing models on the web with the Analytica Cloud Platform (ACP)
    Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
    • Analytica runs on any Windows computer, or on a Macintosh using Parallels or VMWare. ACP runs via any web browser.
