Hello I have this error message Failed to create OpenGL RenderContext. when I want to display the results of my test on PhysicsAI.
Hello Garance,
The "Failed to create OpenGL RenderContext" error in Altair PhysicsAI (running within HyperWorks) means the software is failing to initialize your graphics driver or hardware acceleration pipeline when trying to render the visualization window for your test results.
Here are the most effective ways to resolve it:
Because OpenGL relies heavily on your GPU, outdated or corrupted graphics card drivers are the #1 cause of this error.
If your GPU or its driver has compatibility issues with Altair's rendering engine:
altair -help
QT_OPENGL=software
If the error only triggers specifically when you try to view a particular test's results in PhysicsAI:
