25HW License server use on 2 PC

Altair Forum User

I have a ?simple? question:

We have a 25HW license on a license server. This license allow to run hypermesh (21HW) and optistruct (4HW).

We are wondering if it is possible to use 4HW on a PC to run optistruct

And on another PC use 21HW to prepare next model on hypermesh or post treatment of other results on hyper view?

To understand my question, we are currently running jobs which are quite long on a PC with high capacity and we would like to be able to prepare other model or post treat other results on our own PC.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I read the documentation but don't find or understand the answer to my question.

In fact on the same computer i can launch my optistruct job and use hypermesh or hyperview on the same computer.

But when I launch the optistruct job on computer #1, i can not use hypermesh or hyperview on computer #2.

My question is to know if there is something i can do to be able to do this?

Thanks

Sorry that is what I didn't understand... optistruct need 25HWU and not 4HWU as i first stated (it is 4HWU added to the 21 for hypermesh or hyperview) So it works on 1 computer and not 2 (i would need 21 more HWU)

Thank you for your reply

At the first invoke of a Solver application, the HWUs will level against HyperWorks applications already running on the same machine

In your case you are already running Hypermesh in which 21 units are already drawn, so invoking a solver like Optistruct for the same machine will take 4 more units, so that it will level up to 25 HWUs.

This will not work with the 2nd computer as the 25 units are already used by the 1st computer for running Optistruct.

Thanks
