Do current HyperWorks 2020.1 products run on RHEL 8.x or CentOS 8.x?

Did anyone install and/or use Altair products like HyperWorks, Radioss, OptiStruct, SimLab, Flux etc. on a current Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform RHEL 8.x?

My concern is that RHEL 6.10 is going out of Red Hat support soon and the support of Altair for RHEL 6.6 and RHEL 7.2 has already been dropped. All current Altair release notes and install guides I read, mention RHEL 7.4 / CentOS 7.4 and SLES 12 SP3 only.

Can anyone give an advice on which RHEL platform to choose?

Thanks in advance.

I used CentOS 8.x for some servers, but not yet for desktop with Hyperworks. My workstation works under CentOS 7.x, with any release of Hyperworks, no issue.

Share here your experience if you work with this Linux release, RHEL 8.x or CentOS 8.x.

Hi @Martin Brassel ,

I confirm Hypermesh 2020.1 works no problem under Linux CentOS 8.2. See my screenshot:

On the choice of RHEL, you have to go for release 8. Have a look at the following Life cycle:

I don't use Inspire on Linux. But I think this app should work ok with RHEL/CentOS.

Hi,

Altair Flux may run under RH8.2 without any trouble
