Hello,

I faced a problem with opening an HW file, which has been created using HW 2022, in HW 2021.!
When I simply drag it to HW 2021 (or open it), at the right-bottom corner the following error pops up (attached image) and the model cannot be opened in HW 2021.
I want to know how to resolve the problem and be able to open HW 2022 model in HW 2021 version.

Thanks.

    There is no way to do this with the 2022 .hm file, they are (as it says) not backwardly compatible with older versions

    If it is a solver deck, you can export in solver input format (eg. fem) from 2022 and re-import that into HM2021

    If it is something you desperately need in older hm format and have no other way around it, you can try contacting Altair technical support, they may have a way to extract the data into an older format
