Hello, I have installed Hyperworks 2017 on my PC. I am using Ubuntu 17.04. There is no problem during installation.But when I run ./hm, there is no label on the buttons in the workspace. Badly need help. Thank you.
I know this issue. In fact, Hyperworks DOES NOT SUPPORT Ubuntu Linux.
Try CentOS (RHEL compatible) Linux. It works well.
Yes, Ubuntu is not a supported OS,
in any case you can try going to the working directory (by typing in pwd in the command window) and delete the settings files namely hmmenu.set, hmsettings.tcl, command.cmf and then try the same procedure,

It's useless to do that under Ubuntu /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
Keep your Ubuntu box for ... playing and look for a RHEL/CentOS box for working!
Although Ubuntu is not 'supported', Hypermesh 2017 seems to run reasonably well under Ubuntu 18.04 except for no labels on the workspace buttons. Is it possible that a library is simply missing?
How you can work with buttons without label?
I am not suggesting you should work without button labels... I am asking if it is possible that a library might be missing, which is causing the labels to not show up under Ubuntu. It seems like there should be a simple fix to get labels to show up.
If you wan always to work with Ubuntu, I would like to say goodluck to you /emoticons/default_tongue.png' srcset='/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x' title=':P' width='20' />

Hello nierauto and shutte,
looks like, for the 'super user' forum people, it is easy enough to say mockingly: 'ubuntu is not supported' and do not even try to solve the problem.. but whatever.
I solved this issue by installing the bunch of fonts imported from Debian or RHEL. I do not know which font is responsible for this exactly, but this solved the issue with empty buttons. I can try to provide you the list of fonts later.
By the way, in our university everything is working well on Debian system. I will try to clarify, which extra packages are necessary to be installed for proper work.
Go to your installation and open this file
Altair/2017/altair/hm/bin/linux64/hm.cfg
Find these lines:

The actual fonts which HyperMesh uses to display the menu, titles, and graphical entities may be set by the user using the following commands. If any of the default fonts listed below are not available on the workstation on which HyperMesh is run, an available font will be substituted. Use the 'xlsfonts' command on most platforms to see what fonts are available on a workstation.
xfontname(1,'*-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') xfontname(2,'*-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') xfontname(3,'*-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') xfontname(4,'*-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') #Helvetica Fonts: *xfontname(1,'*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(2,'*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(3,'*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(4,'*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1')
Since 'helvetica' and 'new century schoolbook' are not part of Ubuntu fonts (and these fonts are not actually free!), replace them with some available font (get font list by 'xlsfonts' command).
For example,
*xfontname(1,'*-bitstream-bitstream charter-bold-i-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(2,'*-bitstream-bitstream charter-bold-i-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(3,'*-bitstream-bitstream charter-bold-i-normal--17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1') *xfontname(4,'*-bitstream-bitstream charter-bold-i-normal--20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1')
Restart Hypermesh. Good luck! /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
