I recently upgraded our units and now using laptops instead of desktop. The problem I have now is that the nodes aren't appearing on my model. The surfaces, elements are there not not the nodes. Even the points don't appear.

I tried removing the files under "My Documents" and didn't help.

When I click Preferences -> Mesh/Geometry Appearance, I see "Anti-aliasing on the 3rd tab instead of "Others" like what I see in other forum. So i don't know what else to do. My GPU card is updated.

 

Hypermesh/View 2019

Processor: i9-12900H

GPU: GeForce RTX 3060

RAM: 16Gb

Win 11

    First up, Neither Geforce cards or Win11 are 'officially' supported, you may still get it working, but just a heads up that you may get stuck!

    The message about file being opened for reading not existing, is an indication you don't have write permissions in your 'start in' directory (right click the icon you use to start HM to change it). But that should not be related to the graphics issue I don't think.

    If your laptop is using 'optimus' graphics optimisation, you should switch that off in bios (if possible, not all laptops have the option to do this)

    Finally, make sure you have the latest production driver available for your graphics card installed (go to nvidia site to get this, windows won't install the latest by default normally)

    Let us know if any of this helps.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I already removed the default in "Start in" directory. Graphics Optimization is also turned off but I still get the same results. 

    GPU driver has the latest version installed.

    Sorry, Not sure what else to suggest then, someone else here was having a similar issue trying to get a geforce card to work last month and we didn't get a fix for it there I don't think.
