- Altair HyperWorks products may install and run on other non-supported Linux distributions not mentioned or referred to in this documentation, but Altair does not test, certify, verify or warrant the reliability of the products on these platforms.
- Ultra High Definition (UHD)
-
- UHD resolution support (2160p) is only available for Windows 10
(1709 or higher).
- Using Windows 200% scaling for 2160p is recommended.
- Our recommended HD setting is 1080p for FHD and our Ultra HD setting is 2160p.
- Java based tools within our products may still show some scaling issues under Ultra HD resolution.
- UHD resolution support (2160p) is only available for Windows 10
(1709 or higher).
Refer to the Hardware Recommendations and Certifications topic for details.

System Requirements for Running the ultraFluidX Solver
HyperMesh CFD runs on the options listed in the Platform Support section. However, to run the ultraFluidX solver, additional requirements need to be met.
ultraFluidX requires a 64-bit Linux operating system and is certified for RHEL/CentOS 6.8 (64-bit). Due to common forward compatibility of GCC and GLIBC, ultraFluidX may also run smoothly on other Linux operating systems like RHEL/CentOS 7.x, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04 or SLES 12.
ultraFluidX requires at least one NVIDIA GPU device with compute capability 3.5 or higher and NVIDIA drivers version 450.80.02 or higher, and it is strongly recommended to use a minimum of four GPUs based on the NVIDIA Ampere Architecture, for example, NVIDIA A100, to allow for overnight simulations of typical passenger-car setups on a single machine.
