Install HW2017 on Centos7

Altair Forum User

Hello,

I am new in this forum and I am using Hyperworks as a new user. So, I bought HW2017 and I want to install it on a HP Workstation with centos7. So, before I install it, I want to know which things I need on the Workstation (drivers and so on). You can select it by centos on the installation process and I want to do much as I can right on the beginning of the installation.

To cut a long story short, I need help to install HW2017 on centos7.

I tried to install it on Xubuntu 18.04 and had problems that I want to write later to help me on this project.

Thanks

Firstly, forget Ubuntu! Ubuntu is for your Playstation!

On workstation with CentOS 7 (x64?), you need a supported graphic card. I used 'Quadro K2200' NVIDIA and it works very well.

I need also install Nvidia driver correctly on your workstation.

I think the minimum memory is 8G ram.

After that, Hyperworks should work without any issue on it.

Hi rasidrasid

Check the installation guide and hardware recommendation of HW 2017.

This will help you.

Thank you. But nevertheless, I will write the error I got from Xubuntu to learn more about that.

When you need technical support, and you say you use 'unsupported' OS, I'm afraid you did not get right answer :-)

/emoticons/default_tongue.png' srcset='/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x' title=':P' width='20' /> yes yes I know......maybe its a wishful thinking or only a hope :wacko: /emoticons/default_wacko.png' title=':wacko:' />

But I got this message:

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
hw: ../../src/xcb_io.c:259: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.

What means that? I think anything needs to be subsequently installed

Hello Pranav Hari.

The pdf's dont work.

As Altair's support ignores me if I used Ubuntu, I'll do the same for any Ubuntu questions on this forum.

Good luck !

:-)
