I am an engineering student trying to run simulation on ABAQUS. The version I'm using is 6.14, which is from 2014 and predates the existence of Ryzen processors (I have a Ryzen 9 5980HX). So the software doesn't work on my PC. This is why I decided to use a Virtual Machine in VBox.
I used the command "VBoxManage modifyvm "Mac OS Snow Leopard" --cpu-profile "Intel Xeon X5482 3.20GHz"" but the VM refuses to run. I even tried an i7 6700K. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this? Or is it just not possible to spoof an Intel CPU on an AMD host?
How do I emulate an Intel CPU on an AMD machine?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware is not supported as it breaches Apple's Licensing Terms and Conditions - see viewtopic.php?t=92649 and/or the VirtualBox User Guide Section 4.1.1

Re: How do I emulate an Intel CPU on an AMD machine?
Since you posted it this forum I take it your host is Windows. Why did you decide to run MacOS in the vm rather than Windows, when you obviously have a Windows version of ABAQUS?
As multiOS pointed out, running a MacOS on a Windows vm breaches Apple's user agreement, so it can't be supported here.
