AcuSolve has currently two preprocessors: HyperWorks CFD and SimLab. 

This post will concentrate on using HyperWorks CFD as the graphical interface for AcuSolve. (There will be a future post on how to choose SimLab or HyperWorks CFD). 

Install following packages from Altairone.com

CFD Solvers 2022.3 (Windows – x86_64 (64-bit) – 10 & 11) (altair.com)

Desktop 2022.3 (Windows – x86_64 (64-bit) – 10 & 11) (altair.com)

Ideal to keep above packages and the below package in one folder. Start installation of Simulation Products and it will pick up other package to install them in one process.

    Thanks for the information. Do you still plan to create a future post on how to choose between Simlab or Hyperworks CFD for Acusolve? This would be incredibly helpful
