Can not select and hover highlight element in Hyperworks?

James Lewis

Hi experts,

I have problem with my Laptop.

When I pick option Elements, I can not select the elements or hover highlight them.

But I do on other laptop, it's okay to select.

Do there settings that I have to set on my laptop so I can select elements.

I do mesh editing, and can not select mesh really annoy me.

Please give me some help.

Here is my driver version.

Does it enough with version 2022?

No, that is probably it, it is the last 5 digits that give the Nvidia driver number, so yours is only 411.63, and it is almost 4 years old. The latest driver available for an M1000M is 516.94 (released yesterday) You should probably do a full update (select advanced options on install and select a clean install rather than an upgrade)

Could it be graphics driver related? 2022 needs minimum Nvidia 472.47 or Radeon 21.Q4

I updated the latest version for graphic driver, but it did not work.

I find that, when I set the view normal to the plate, I can select elements.

But when I rotate to different view, I can not select anymore.

make sure that when HyperWorks is launched, it is using indeed your nVidia dedicated graphic card, and not some onboard card.

Usually there's a selection inside NVIDIA Control panel, on what is the prefered graphics card to be used, specially if it is a laptop.

Changing to high performance should launch the software using nVidia's.

I did select as you show, but it not worked.

Please help me understand anti-aliasing option.

When activate it, my screen crash like image below.

Thanks Paul and Adriano,

I solved the issue.

My mistake is not chose clean install graphic driver, I did upgrade instead.

Many thanks!
