Optistruct Installation Issue

Hello,

Thank you so much for your help. now it's working. I have one more problem with the Optistruct installation. I installed hw2025 and mechanical solvers including Simlab as you can see in the image. But after installation was done I couldn´t find the OptiStruct Application. I can only see Compute Console 2025 and other applications but not OptiStruct. If possible, Can you please help me to get OptiStruct?

Thank you and best regards

Hi @REDDYRAMU,

Altair Compute Console (ACC) is a utility that enables you to launch various Altair HyperWorks Solvers, including OptiStruct, Radioss, MotionSolve, AcuSolve, AMS (Altair Manufacturing Solver), SEAM, and EDEM.

HyperWorks seems to be installed with the necessary solver executables at your system. To use OptiStruct, follow these steps:

Open HyperWorks (HyperMesh, HyperView, or HyperStudy).
In HyperMesh, navigate to the Solver Interface:
- File → Solver Interface → Select OptiStruct.
Once the model is set up, go to Analysis → Run → OptiStruct to execute the simulation.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Best regards,

Hello Sriramanuj,

Thank you so much for your response. Isn´t possible to get an application for Optistrcut itself without any other interface?

Thank you and best regards

Hi @REDDYRAMU,

No, there will not be a standalone graphical user interface (GUI) application for OptiStruct itself.

I need to do condensation of models to generate EXB files to use in AVL Excite MBS software. Is it possible to do condensation if I run Optistruct through Hypermesh?

You can use the concept of Super Elements. Attached is the link for the help document you can refer to for more details. Super Element Methods
