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.
