Inspire Form

A new feature, InspireRadiossSolver, is introduced in v2023 to replace InspireFormIncrSolver license feature. This feature is required to nvoke Tryout GUI and run incremental analysis using Radioss solver. This product requires 30 AUs.

Inspire Extrude

A license feature, InspireOSSolver, is added. It is required when OptiStruct is used for structural analysis. This product requires 15 AUs.

Inspire Mold

A license feature, InspireOSSolver, is added. It is required when OptiStruct is used for structural analysis. This product requires 15 AUs.

Flux

A new feature, Flux2DSolver, is introduced to support Flux2D analysis. 15 units are required when running Flux2D solver for one core. Multi-core usage follows the Solver In-App Licensing table.

FluxMotor

A new feature, FluxMotorFlux2DSolver, is introduced to support Flux2D analysis in Flux Motor. 15 units are required when running Flux2D solver via FluxMotor for one core. Multi-core usage follows the Solver In-App Licensing table. The FluxMotor GUI interface now requires 21 AUs.

Altair License Manager

Altair HyperWorks 2023 products require the Altair License Manager 15.2 or the latest version. The License Manager is compatible with previous versions of Altair software.

Note: Altair HyperWorks products that have upgraded the ALSDK to v15.1 no longer work with Altair License Manager 14.5.1 or older.

For more information, reference the Altair Units Licensing section in the Altair HyperWorks documentation.

Enhancements

Updates to Existing License Feature Names: Several product license feature names have been updated. See details in the Altair Units Licensing section of the Altair HyperWorks documentation.
