SimLab Force Computation fails with FluxExport.fem not found and Flux2DSolver license error

pkkk

Hello,

I am using Altair Student Edition with SimLab/HyperMesh 2025. When I run Motor NVH Force Computation from the SimLab/HyperMesh GUI, Flux is launched in the background, but the process fails.

FICOUV => No such file or directory
.\FluxExport.fem
./FluxExport.fem : File not found

Feature(s): GlobalZoneAP, HyperWorks, HWFlux2DSolver
Feature not found

Feature: Flux2DSolver
Feature not found

My SimLab installation seems complete. The solver folders exist under:

C:\ProgramFiles\Altair\2025\SimLab\bin\win64\solvers

including Flux and Optistruct.

SimLab itself runs with my Student Edition license. The license log shows:

Checked out HyperWorksEDU (local)

but Flux2DSolver, HWFlux2DSolver, and GlobalZoneAP fail to check out.

My questions are:

Is SimLab/HyperMesh → Flux2D Force Computation supported with Student Edition?
Is FluxExport.fem supposed to be generated automatically?
Could the missing FluxExport.fem be caused by the Flux2DSolver license checkout failure?
If this workflow is not supported, should I export force data directly from Flux instead?

Thank you.
