Yagi Mechanical® uses .NET that is typically already in place for most Windows installations. Though Yagi Mechanical® does a lot of calculations, it is relatively minor in needed resources compared to some other applications you might use. The requirements here are based on the Windows 11 minimum requirements as they are a baseline for a functional modern PC. The only recommendation beyond this list is increased graphics capability as it may smooth the camera movement in the 3D View tab.
Note: PCs shy of these requirements may run YM much slower, but the results are just as valid.
DX Engineering does not guarantee that Yagi Mechanical® will work if your computer falls short of the listed specifications.

A note on User files
Note: The directory YM uses for User data can be specified in the Options dialogue. Based on Windows conventions, a good store directory would be
C:\Users\your username\Documents\Yagi Mechanical Files
(the default directory used by YM ). Or you can ignore Windows’ convention and do
C:\YM Files.
