"Better with new interface"
What do you like best about Altair HyperWorks?

I like the new interface; the icons are very understandable and useful. And we don't need to continuously press the ctrl button on the keyboard while panning and turning the geometry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair HyperWorks?

After the 2022.1 patch, most of the bugs are removed, but there are still some. So I'm waiting for the 2022.2 patch; probably program will run more smoothly. And somehow, I didn't understand when the command was not working correctly after the close and reopen; the program command was working well. It happened a few times, which is weird.

"Very powerful package Especially for preprocessing of FEA model."
What do you like best about Altair HyperWorks?

It consiat package of so may diffrent softwares auch as hypermesh, optistruct, Radios, Hyperview, Hyperstudy etc

In which Hypermesh is really strong and powerfull software for preprocessing meshing and model building for lot many popular solvers. Hyperworks also contains their own local solvers such as optistruct and Radios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair HyperWorks?

Interface is really old. They are trying to modify it now but wont find it that effective. They could also study the competition and do changes accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I used Altair Hyperworks as it’s a ergonomic easy to use software that makes work more efficient"
What do you like best about Altair HyperWorks?

I love the new updates interface that makes building models much more user friendly and efficient. The layout is well through through and the brains behind the smart features have improved hugely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair HyperWorks?

There's not much for me to dislike. However, what I did find a little difficult was the original imtergration of the new interface. However, once I got used to it and was comfortable using it. I found it much easier to use than the older interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experiences"
What do you like best about Altair HyperWorks?

I have liked mesh regulation of hyperworks in short time. Before, ı use hypermesh already . On the other hand, hyperworks can do solid and surface geotmerical regulations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Altair HyperWorks?

I think, hyperworks especially is bad on the extend and crossextend. I recommend to Hyperworks to being stabil. So sometimes it crash. Crashing break my files and reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
