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
