You will need the HyperMesh CFD and CFD Solvers packages. Setup is done within HyperMesh CFD.

That GPU has only 4 GB RAM - so maybe you can do some very small models. Anything more industrial typically requires multiple (4 to 8) high-end GPUs - A100, H100, etc.

This is a good starting point for a UFX tutorial.

Thanks, Acupro.

However, I still cannot find the "hwVirtualWindTunnelUltraFluidX2025.1_win64.exe" file mentioned in the user guide, and when I launch HyperMeshCFD, it directly takes me to the General purpose CFD - Acusolve.

Could you please tell me what the fix is?

I do not have this option:

Hakan_20716

This interface is now obsolete. Make the necessary definitions in the HyperMesh CFD interface instead. (Aerodynamics and aeroacoustics).

According to the install guide - Chapter 3 - you should just download/install this package
AxhwHyperMeshCFD2025_1_win64.exe
or for Linux
AxhwHyperMeshCFD2025_1_linux64.bin

Is that what you've done? Maybe try re-install?
