Anomalies with the browsers, the user interface layout (tab locations, command window, panel

location, toolbars,) keyboard preferences, import/export settings etc certain malfunctions with

errors and crashes can generally be resolved by deleting the settings files.

The following problems in HyperMesh have been successfully fixed by deleting the settings files.

Entities missing

Radio buttons missing in panel area

Buttons missing in panel area

Toolbar icons missing

Utility menu is blank, browser has icons missing

Status bar is missing

The mesh is not seeded all along the edges of a model and not taking the element size specified

When user tries to organize elements using organize option, elements are not moved and tool hangs

graphics

Panel area is resized

User is not able to get White background JPEG if the Check box is marked for Blank background

under options panel.

While using automesh option, if user does a reject/abort, then all masked elements will be

unmasked. i.e. If User masks some of the elements of the same and locally remeshes remaining

elements with F12 and aborts the operation then masked elements will appear on the screen

without doing unmask elements.

Components are not being displayed in the graphics area, though they are active in the model

browser and are not masked.

Masked Temporary Nodes appear while selecting by window.

Find attached elements will select all the elements including those in undisplayed components.

The colour of the component does not match between that in the model browser and the graphics

area.

Delete the below files

I am using inspire 2021.1 and it keeps crashing every time I use the sketch tool. I have already deleted the files (.Altair) folder.

I was receiving "A segmentation error occurred" everytime I wasnted to view my composite plies in my model.

I deleted all the files as mentioned but still get the same error.

I also did a re-install of the whole hyperworks and solvers. I use Hyperworks/Hypermesh 2021.2.

How else to resolve this error ?
