HyperWorks 14.0 on MacBook

Hi everybody,

 

I've just downloaded the full HyperWorks 14.0 Suite on my MacBook from connect.altair.com. I had requested a Student Version but I found out that this is not available for Mac users on this version and so I received a temporary full license.

 

After installing all the three files (hwdesktop, solvers and solid thinking) plus the license manager, I can not find out why the software is still not working.

For example, if I click on HyperMesh icon I see the icon appears and disappears immediately from the dock. This happens for all the softwares installed. By the way, I am able to open HyperMath, almutil, Evolve, rQ and Inspire. However, I need the others mostly.

 

I've received the license file, renamed it in altair_lic.dat and placed in the directory Altair HyperWorks/14.0/altair/security/altair_lic.dat as suggested in the website. Moreover, if I open almutil I see the license with the right expiring date and the EthernetID is correct.

 

I don't really know where the problem could be and I hope somebody will help me.

 

Best regards,

Marco

    Please note that it is only supported until MAC OS 10.9 

     

    Also, for the software to run you may need XQuartz from here:

    please try installing xquartz as above and let us know if there was any success,
