Hello,

If you use a version prior to version 2022.2, you have access to the old interface:

But of you use the 2022.2 the classic interface is hidden :

Where is HyperMesh, HyperView and HyperGraph (legacy interface) in 2022.2 on Windows platforms?

Can you tell me why you want to use the old interface and not the Next Generation interface?

You can find below a link to a document explaining the transition to the new HyperWorks 2022 User interface :

I need the same, please where can I find the classic interface again??? I received a new enterprise laptop, and this one has pre-installed the version of HyperWorks 2022.2 but this new layout can't read the OpenFOAM files. I even can't see a solver interface for CFD, only ansys are available.

Hello Alberto,

For every versions (except 2022.2) you can open the classic interface if you select HyperMesh or HyperView as explained in the previous screenshot.

In 2022.2, the shortcuts are hidden are explained in this link and it explains how you can have them back :

Where is HyperMesh, HyperView and HyperGraph (legacy interface) in 2022.2 on Windows platforms?

For CFD, we have a separate tool which is HyperWorks CFD with the new interface. Whith the classic one you can change the solver interface for CFD :

Hello Marine,

Thanks for the link with instructions to open the classic interface. I know HyperWorks CFD 2022.2 but there is no option to import OpenFOAM files there (I saw an option for export but any for import). Anyway, I will keep using the classic interface where I can find everything I need to perform my work properly.
