Pre-Post Applications Unit Draw

A summary of the Altair Units (AUs) drawn by application.

When querying the license server, the log will display 1000 times the number shown in the table for each feature name. Also note that feature names in the license have been cleaned up and will typically be the name listed below, prefixed with HW. For example, HyperMesh appears as HWHyperMesh, or Radioss as HWRadioss.

Altair CAE pre- and post-processing solutions allow access to several applications. The number of Altair Units (AUs) drawn by each application varies. The Altair License Manager remembers the highest watermark for an instance of HyperMesh, HyperGraph, HyperView, and MotionView when invoking from multiple sessions. For example, if HyperGraph is launched, first (6 AUs) are drawn, and if a HyperView window is added to the same session, the number of AUs increases from 6 to 21. Switching back to the HyperGraph window (with or without closing the HyperView window) keeps the total unit count at 21 AUs.
