why my ultrafluidX when I run there is a notification that I have to use linux? I downloaded ultrafluidX2020_win64.exe do I really have to use linux when running analysis?

    Strange. Do you mean virtual wind tunnel?? In VWT you can setup your model in windows and export for running in AcuSolve or uFx. But, like stated by the message, uFx runs only in Linux machines and with GPU. It wouldn't make sense to have a windows installer for the solver, as you've noticed.

    Hi Kesit,

    With the release of Windows Linux Subsystem 2 on Windows 11 (or Windows 10 2021.H2) it is now possible to get ultrafluidX running on a Windows machine with a supported NVIDA GPU.  

    You must meet the system requirements listed in the nvidia wsl user guide: 

    https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/wsl-user-guide/index.html

    Below you can see UltraFluidX running on Ubuntu 20.04 on a windows laptop with a Quadro T2000 Nvida card.

    Please note this is NOT officially supported by Altair but my initial testing seems promising.

    Hi Shaun,

    Do you happen to know of any guides on how to set this system up. I am hoping to use VWT 2021 as part of my masters project but am very new at using Linux.

    Thanks, George
