HW 2022 not opening HW 2021

Hi, I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and HW 2022.

When I try and open older HW files the open button greys out, or when trying to import the .FEM file. Any idea why this is happening?

    this looks strange..do you have a video showing this?

    In HyperWorks, you can also try just drag and drop your file into the graphic area to load a model.

     

    Can you also perform the checksum verification into your installation file, and compare it with the expected value, to make sure the installation exe was not corrupted during donwload?

    Hi Adriano - I just resolved it. Win 11 was blocking some permissions, it resolved itself once I released these. Thank you for checking in. I am running HW 2022 on Win 11 on a new dual CPU. Testing a 7 hours model to see if the better hardware can reduce run time. 

    Do you know if PBS can run on the same machine as HW as I am not sure if the direct run in HW is making use of all the CPU threads. I added the -np 2 command to utilise both CPUs and allowed 128 Gb Ram.
