    Hi,

    Usually the files generated with the latest version will not be compatible with the pervious versions/older versions (but vice versa is possible) i.e., back compatibility will not be present.

    As mentioned in the above post, Altair HyperWorks Release Notes are helpful in knowing the compatibility.

    Thank You!
