Every time I try to use Hyperview to see my results of the simulation I see an error in the shown result. To be more clear you'll find the screenshot of my result in the attachment. I tried to do the same simulation with the same file on a Windows Computer and the result is correct. I don't know what to do, hope you'll help me.



PS. I'll also attach the warnings that the software gives me when I launch it.

    HyperView has quite demanding graphics card requirements under windows on a PC, NVIDIA or AMD commercial cards are typically required. The warnings and behaviour you are see are consistent with your hardware (or at least your virtualised hardware) not being compatible with the software. You could try manually disabling DAB, but it may not help (under Preferences-->Options-->Performance)

    Hi Paul, thank you for you reply! Unfortunately even disabling DAB my situation didn't improve... Hoping to be helpful I'll attach a new screenshot of the info that I get when I'm launching the software.

    How did you manage to run HyperWorks on a MacBook? My experience has been dire, on a MacBook M1 under Parallels, running the ARM version of Windows 11, which is the only way to currently run Windows applications on an Apple Silicon computer.
