Hyperworks 2022 Legacy Panel Tools Missing

The legacy panels in Hyperworks 2022.2 show up without many of the tool options that were available on previous versions. An example of the "Geom" panel is included in the attachments.

Am I missing a default setting, or have these tools been moved or absorbed into the updated interface tools?

Thank you,

Mandy

    Is 2021 the latest version of the hyperworks suite that includes the standalone legacy hypermesh software? It's not part of the suite from 2022 onward?

    Thanks,

    Hello, Mandy.

    The standalone Legacy HyperMesh should also be available when downloading the HW Desktop suite. For 2022.2 specifically, it's hidden in the installation folder:

    You can unhide it by right-clicking on it > Properties > uncheck Hidden:

    Now you'll be able to find it in the Windows Search.

    Hello, Mandy Kramer!

    You're right. From 2022.2 onwards, the tools that have been completely absorbed into the New HyperWorks workflow are no longer available through panels.

    You can use Ctrl+F to look for desired tools or check the Tool Finder in the Help Documentation: https://2022.help.altair.com/2022.2/hwdesktop/hwx/topics/panels/tool_finder_r.htm

    Ctrl+F example:
