Altair HyperWorks Licensing 2020.1 Release Notes

Inspire Mold

Inspire Mold is used for simulating the injection molding process. It uses the license feature InspireMoldGUI for the interface and its solver uses the feature InspireManufacturingSolver. They both use 30 units. The first instance of the solver is leveled and subsequent instances are stacked.

Inspire Friction Stir Welding

Inspire Friction Stir Welding is used for simulating the friction stir welding process. It uses the license feature InspireExtrudeGUI for the interface and its solver uses the feature InspireManufacturingSolver. They both use 30 units. The first instance of the solver is leveled and subsequent instances are stacked.

Inspire PolyFoam

Inspire PolyFoam is used for simulating the polyurethane foam process. It uses the license feature InspirePolyFoamGUI for the interface and its solver uses the feature InspirePolyFoamSolver. The interface uses 50 units and the solver 100 units. The first instance of the solver is leveled and subsequent instances are stacked

Feko

Feko now includes newFASANT and WRAP software solutions.

Solver licensing was modified. In general, both licensing variants (per job and by hardware usage) of previous releases continue to be available in a modified manner. The per-job licensing now applies mainly to in-application execution of solvers. The HPC license provides value for large scale solver execution on clusters.

It draws units based on the total CPU core count of a solver, and therefore the license draw does not depend on number of jobs, but on compute resources used. GPU acceleration for AcuSolve, Feko, and OptiStruct is included thru elevated core count. EDEM GPU support is licensed in a similar way. Combination of in-app and HPC license depends on the license provided.
