Hi i am trying to install hyperworks student edition. I am trying to download hyperworks(blue icon) after downloading and installation i cannot see the hyperworks instead hypermesh is popping up all the times. I tried installing and downloading the file multiple times but it turned to be unsuccessful. I am able to see hyperworks desktop(blue icon) file is present in the installation directory even when I try to open it is getting redirected to hypermess(red icon). Is there anyone who faced this problem earlier or is there anyone that knows solution for this?

    Hello,

    I am a little confused by your question. But let me try to clear something up.

    Hyperworks is Altair's whole suite of simulation tools.

    https://altair.com/altair-hyperworks

    Hypermesh is a pre-processing software under that umbrella.

    I am assuming you want Hypermesh installed, which sounds like what you have.

    Hi jason thanks for the reply, yes I have seen this note of 2023 release. I am attaching a photo of the application that I want, it is the second application that you can see in the photo. I am having 5th application all the time which I do not want to use.

    That is the Legacy version and should no longer be available starting with 2023

    Please refer to the following landing page

    So that means i cannot use legacy version anymore? and Altair has stopped users from using legacy version?

    Correct. 2022.3 is the last version of legacy available.

    Thank you so much. I tried installing it in the morning and it worked too except for the fact that it couldn't run optistruct. Is there any way to use it?

    I didn't tried it but do you think it can work?? Theoritically it should if I am not wrong? I got tired of installing and uninstalling multiple times.

    Hypermesh is the preprocessor. You need to install Optistruct as well to run optistruct.
