FREE HyperWorks 11.0 Student Edition

It is exciting news that the student version of HyperWorks is now available. This program truly demonstrates Altair’s commitment to enhancing students’ learning experience outside the classroom so that they can reinforce their engineering knowledge and classroom instruction.

Dr. Wei Chen, Wilson-Cook Professor in Engineering Design at Northwestern University

 Finally, with the release of the HyperWorks 11.0 Student Edition

 

students may now – at any time and place – explore and learn more about the exciting simulation techniques involved in the “CAE Driven Design Process“.

In this process, structural optimization which encompasses topology-, topography-, size-, free size-, shape-, and free shape optimization, plays a key role. Of course, model building (preprocessing), and visualization of results (postprocessing) are also part of the process …

The HyperWorks Student Edition enables to:

• Learn more about modern model building techniques with Altair HyperMesh

• Study and employ the world leading topology-, topography-, size-, and shape optimization technology based on OptiStruct. Note, the optimization of composites is also a key discipline available with OptiStruct

• Analyze and study linear and nonlinear (material & geometry) phenomena’s with RADIOSS.

• Visualize modeling results with HyperView, HyperView Player and HyperGraph.

What you should know about the HyperWorks 11.0 Student Edition

Capabilities

The Student Edition is based on the newly developed HyperWorks Desktop Framework, which enables users to view preprocessing (HyperMesh) and postprocessing (HyperView and HyperGraph) information within a common and user defined graphics area.

In the Student Edition, the following HyperWorks modules are included:

Finite Element Meshing and Modeling

HyperMesh - Universal finite element pre- and post-processor

• Comprising all the superior geometry cleanup, midsurfacing, 1D-2D-3D meshing, welding and mesh parametrisation (i.e. morphing) functionalities

• Supported CAD formats: Import of IGES, SolidWorks and STEP, export of IGES

• For simple 3D models, the analysis and optimization set up may be based on a dedicated process guide. This process guide especially suites the needs of students without any FEM knowhow.

Solvers

Radioss – Finite element solver for linear and non-linear problems

OptiStruct – Design and optimization software using finite elements and multi-body dynamics

Post-processing & Data Management

HyperView – High performance finite element and mechanical system post-processor, engineering plotter, and data analysis tool

HyperGraph – Engineering plotter and data analysis tool

HyperView Player - Viewer for visualizing 3-D CAE results via the Internet or desktop

Collaboration Tools - A solution that organizes, manages, and stores CAE and test data throughout the simulation life cycle. The Collaboration Tools are a part of the HyperWorks Enterprise Solution

Documentation

The full HyperWorks HTML documentation provides a thorough, searchable resource to find detailed information about HyperWorks, including an extensive set of tutorials. We deliberately did not delete the information about the HyperWorks applications excluded from the Student Edition from the Help Menu. Hence, there is a lot more information available as really needed. However, you may be interested to learn more about HyperWorks, also because universities always license a regular version (i.e. all applications included without any limitation on model size …

Compatibility

 The database of the student edition (HyperMesh binary file; Radioss bulk and OptiStruct ASCII file) IS compatible with the regular version

Limitations

• The “HyperWorks For Student Edition” may NOT be used for commercial purpose

    i am working on a mac. Using Virtualbox with windows 32bit the graphics dont seem to work (part were the 3d model is shown looks strange)

    i tried installing hyperworks on bootcamp with windows 64 bit but during while trying to get the licence an error occurs. the program to get the Ethernet ID gives only zeros.

    what can i do? can i get the ethernet id some other way or is the program not compatible with windows 23 bit!

    Thank you!

    best regards

    Diego

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello
      In the past we faced quite some issues with Bootcamp on Mac and HyperWorks. So not sure whether it will really work at all.
      Nevertheless, you may try the following:
      Open a DOS-Shell and run ipconfig /all in order to extract the Ethernet (physical) address (MAC-Adress).
      In the Altair Online Store insert the previously extracted information in the correspondíng input panel. During cjheck out from the Store use the redemption code Free_EDU_Extra to waive the license fee

      Success

    I receive the following error when trying to load .h3d during an initial tutorial.

    Error: failed to load resource ‘result’ using reader ‘Hyper3D Reader’.

    The same error occurs for .KIN3 files.

    The reader options button has “no options available”??

    Regards, Ross

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello
      the student edition doesn’t allow to import kin3 files (only h3d files). In addition, model size is limited to 10.000 nodes.
      did you check the model size?

      Regards

    Hi, i face a problem while installing this student edition.

    It says the “Installer User Interface Mode not supported, the installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the UI mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console and Silent.

    i dont understand the statement. Can you help me?

    Thank you very much.

        i am currently using windows 8. Anyway, thank you.

    2. Michael Craig says:

      Run the install .EXE file with compatibility settings. If you’re using Windows 8, just right click the file, click Troubleshoot Compatibility, and follow the instructions. Eventually you’ll be asked to ‘Test’ the program. Just hit that button and you should be golden.

  9. Vagelis Gryllakis says:

    Hello.
    I did succesfully downloaded and installed the student edition.But there is one problem.

    As soon as i applied for the student version, i could instantly after ,download the documents for intallation and the programm.exe.The only thing i could download was the license file.dat.

    I was waiting for approval (i was on “pending”)
    But you say that all 3 of the downloads (programm,documents,license) you download them together.
    Why in my case was seperate?

    Hope i made my self clear.

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello,
      You are correct and sorry for the confusion. The software and documentation can be directly downloaded once you have received your Altair Online Store login information.
      The download link to your personal license file will only be shown if your software request was approved.

      I hope this didn’t confuse you.
      Can you start the Student Edition or do you encounter any problems?

      Best regards

      Matthias Goelke

      1. Vagelis Gryllakis says:

        The truth is it did confused me a bit, because i wasted my time trying to find what was wrong and couldnt get my license file.

        Anyways, everything seems ok now in the Student edition.Except that i cant expand the view in the working space.I can see that in the future this might become a bit frustrating.
        Is there a way i can work on full screen.(like in a regular lisence?)

        And thanks for your time.

        1. Matthias Goelke says:

          Again Sorry for the trouble.
          I am not sure what you mean with “full screen” – We did not implement any changes to limit the size of the window/screen.
          What OS are you using?

          Thank you

    Hello,

    I just recieved my free student edition, thank you! However, my attempts to install it on my Virtual Machine, I have encountered some difficulties.

    It says the following: Unable to create any clients. Check the licens file.

    My normal operating system is OSX, is this possibly due to the fact that the ethernet address I gave was from the OSX side and not the VM?

    Please and thank you for any help!

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello,
      Please request another license for your VM (use the redemption code Free_EDU_Extra). Still we are not sure whether it will work at the end (we had some troubles with this set-up in the past already).

  16. vaibhav says:

    1. I use windows 7 64-bit, is there a student version to fit to my system?
    2. I worked in Ansys ICEM and Fluent wherein once mesh file is generated its saved as .msh and then sent to fluent for CFD analysis. Here in hypermesh student edition, whats the procedure and how can we use meshed files to use it in fluent? Thanks.

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello,
      The Student Edition 11.0 is based on 32 bit. However, it run on 64 bit too.
      In its current version only our solvers Radioss and OptiStruct are supported i.e. no interface to ICEM or Fluent.
      Also, the Student Edition is currently limited to 10.000 nodes which may not be sufficient for CFD models.

      Please check with your IT department (or professor), your campus may have licensed a regular (=full) version of HyperWorks.

    Hi, Matthias,

    Firstly, thank you so much for your great software. And as a beginner, I met some problems.

    When I analysis the model with Radioss, it appears following message:”Error output from the solver: Activating OPT SKIP mode.” and after the analysis, when I click “Hyperview”, another error message will appear, which is “Application Error: Error: invalid command name “pagehw-9995720″”.

    However, the fact was that the model could be solved successfully in the school computers, while failed in my laptop…

    I will be appreciate if you can provide some information about that.

    Thank you.

    Shishang

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello,
      I assume you are using the Student Edition.
      If so, please split your window and activate the HyperView client (postprocessing) in the new window. You then can load the so called *.h3 results file.
      I created a series of videos (HyxperWorks Starter Kit Video Series) in which these steps are explained.

      Please give it a try

      Matthias

      P.S.: OPT SKIP simply means that you are running an analysis and not an optmization

    Hi Altair,

    First of all, let me say me that, HyperMesh is a great meshing tool. I have used it few times, to just learn it, it seems to be quite interactive and powerful.
    Now, I want to get a student edition to practice and learn more.
    But I noticed that the number of nodes are limited to only 10, if I am not mistaken ? Can you please clarify on it

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      The node limitation of the Student Edition is 10.000 nodes.
      In case your models are much larger please use the regular HyperWorks version which is available at most universities.

      Regards

      Matthias

    Hello

    first of all thx for the great student edition. But sadly I have some problems. Always I start the programm there are some errors … the last I can read is:

    1 Error: 67 Error: Cannot create default workspace for library management — workspace root folder could not be create at specified location.

    But after that I can run the programm and analysis my part with Radioss. If I am clicking on the HyperView symbol after that there is an additional error:

    invalid command name “pagehw-9996720″
    invalid command name “pagehw-9996720″
    while executing
    “# Compiled — no source code available
    error “called a copy of a compiled script”"
    (procedure “::fepre::AppendSessionFile” line 1)
    invoked from within
    “::fepre::AppendSessionFile “C:/Users/XXXXX/Desktop/XXXXX/XXXXX/Rohr 50x250mm.mvw”"

    Is there perhaps a connection between this failures?

    I hope you can help me

    Best regards

    Respected Sir/Madam,
    i have successfully installed Hypermesh 11th Student Edition.
    i also downloaded the licence file correctly and placed in the folder as mentioned in documentation. I have also set environmental variable, but when i am running Hypermesh , i am getting error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click OK to terminate the application.
    Please help me

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello,
      Some questions:
      1. In the Online Store, did you run the script to determine the Ethernet address of your PC?
      2. Is the PC you have used to order the license the same as the one the Student Edition is installed on?
      3. Did you check the license file contents? how big is it?
      4. Did you rename the license file to altair_lic.dat
      5. Did you check the file extension i.e. it may happen that the extension is *.dat.dat

      Success

      Matthias

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      We are getting closer.
      Please go back to the Altair Online Store (login with the data you have received in the first mail). In the Store you are asked to run a script which helps to determine the Ethernet address of your PC (note: the PC you are using while you are in the Store MUST be the one you are installing the Student Edition on). The Ethernet address mustbe copied into the corresponding entry field.
      Then in the net step you are asked to provide a redemption code / coupon code which will waive /reduce the license fee.
      Please make use of the following code FREE_EDU_ALL
      After you have inserted the redeption you you will see that the license fee is set to “0″.
      Then confirn your order.
      Regards

      Matthias

      1. ghassem says:

        Thank you for your
        I go to Altair Online Store

          Once you are in the Store you are asked to specifiy the Ethernet address. Next to this “task” you are offered to run a script (please read the information provided there).
          It shouldn’t be a problem

  41. Arjun Premchandran says:

    Hello Sir,
    I am an engineering student from India, just wanted to know if there is a 64bit version of the software (student edition) as I use windows 7 64-bit OS. If it’s not available then what can be done so as to enable me to use this software?

    Thanx in advance…

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Sorry that it took so long to reply.
      Currently, the Student Edition is based on 32 bit. However, you can install and run it on 64 bit too.

    anivesh

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Hello Anivesh,
      not sure whether you read the other mails regading license file error.
      Please check the following:
      - did you download the license file at all? The download link is included in the notification mail you receive after your order was approved (not to be mistaken with your registration in the Altair Online Store)
      - file extension. Take care that the files name is altair_lic.dat (it may happen that the extension is .dat.dat)
      - did you rename the license file at all?
      - did you locate the license file in the security folder
      - did you install the Student Edition on the PC you have been used while the Ethernet address was determined?

      Good luck

    can i fix this problem ?
    please help.

    Thank You

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      It looks like you need to re-apply for a new license file.
      Please make use of the coupn code: Free_EDU_Extra
      Also make sure, that the ethernet address of your PC (the one HyperWorks is installed) is determined by running the corresponding script available in the Online Store (I doubt whether the ethernet address you’ve listed in the mail i correct …)

    CQUAD4 element number x reference
    a missing or invalid property number x .
    x={1~988},
    what is the problem ?
    Thanks much

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      This looks like you have missed to assign a property (property collector) to your elements.
      There are different ways to do so, for instance, go to the ModelBroser, right mouse buttopn click on the property (collector), the select “assign to ..” from the within the pop-up window.
      You can also visually check whether a property (incl. material) was assigned to the elements by chaning the display mode from “elements by component color” to “elements by material”, or “elements by property”.
      Also make sure that the property cardimage fits to 2D elements e.g. PSHELL (PSOLID would be invlid).

      There is a video available (in the Academic Blog) in which some of the typical errors are explained and debugged

      Good luck
      Matthias

      1. Frankl says:

        Thanks much for that problem, it is solved now .
        Another error.
        Volfrac is not applied to a topology or free-sizing domain
        DRESP1 ID = 1
        Does it mean volumefrac can not be a response ?

        1. Matthias Goelke says:

          You shold be able to define volfrac in a topology optimization.
          Please check whether this response was properly defined (created) at all i.e. in the response panel click on review, select the response and compare the settings in the panel area.
          I assume you are using volfrac in the optimization constraints panel. Note that if you wish to keep for instance 30% of the initial volume you need to define 0.3 in the constraints panel …

          Regards
          Matthias

          1. Frankl says:

            Thanks.

          4. Matthias Goelke says:

            Please try another browser. We had a similar question recently and changing the browser helped.
            Also, trying to access some of the material from inside the universitiy network may be a problem related to the Firewall.

    Hi..
    When I run the software after installing it, it gives me an error sayin “Unable to create any clients. Check the license file” I saw a similar query mentioned above and followed the suggestions given.

    Kindly suggest what the problem might be and how I can rectify it.

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Dear Anand,
      I just saw that your license file is not correct (the Ethernet address is 00000000000)! Most likely you missed to manually copy the Ethernet address (as determined by the script available in the Store) into the corresponding input field.

      Please order another license file in the Online Store. This time, please use the coupon code: FREE_EDU_ALL

    Is that the student edition only provides 32-bits ?
    I installed a 32-bit HW in a 64-bits computer, there are some errors when I run optistruct.

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Dear Frank Lou,
      Yes, it is 32 bit. However, it should run on 64bit too (my configuration).
      What kind of errors do you get?

        there is always a message when I run optistruct

        1. Matthias Goelke says:

          Please check the following likely causes:
          1. Did you create a loadcollector for your SPCs=constraints?
          2. In simple cases (=beginning) no card image is needed for this load collector!
          3. Are your SPC’s really stored/saved in this particular load collector?
          4. Definition of the loadstep – did you reference the loadcollector (with the SPC’s)

    Hi,

    I got the student version of the HyperWorks and when I try to open it, it says:

    Unable to create any clients. Check the license file.

    What do I do about this message??

    Harini

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Dear Harini,
      This error message clearly points to a license file error.
      If I am not mistaken you recveived your license file (actually an E-Mail with the download link yesterday).
      A few questions:
      Did you place the license file named altair_ic.dat in the folder as desribed in the installation summary?
      Did you install HyperWorks on the PC you’ve used while requesting the Student Edition from the Altair Online Store?

    Kind Regards

    1. Matthias Goelke says:

      Dear Natalie,
      This is a kind of strange behavior…
      Does this happen with all models,also with the models available in the help menu?
      Did you specify a card image at all (sorry for asking)?
      What kind of card image are you looking at?
      “… it fails after it tries …” what does this mean in detail (please send me (goelke@altair.de) a screenshot
      However, it may also be related to your graphic card (but lets check the first listed items)

      I am confident that we can solve this issue
