why is acusolve not available in my analysis preferences menu?

hi, my name is kesit bayu

I tried to do CFD analysis using the Altair application, I tried the Hyperworks CFD application and virtual wind tunnel, but these two applications still haven't reached the result stage

When I use Virtual Wind Tunnel, acusolve doesn't appear in my preferences menu, even though the book from Altair provides a tutorial for using acusolve How can I bring up the acusolve menu on my VWA?there appears only ultrafluidX and Wheel speed calculation

Unfortunately, the E-book is out of date for the newer releases of the software. With the development and release of HyperWorks CFD, AcuSolve is no longer supported in VWT - only ultraFluidX. You'll have to go back to an older version (maybe 2017.2) of VWT to see AcuSolve supported

thanks for the answer sir if so, it means that in VWT there is only ultrafluidX. from what I read ultrafluidX analysis can only be done via linux is that correct sir?

Correct - ultraFluidX is only on Linux, and typically uses high-end GPUs. It's targeted for vehicle external aerodynamics.
