*Browsers/Online Help (plug-in) |
Firefox NOTE: Java Plug-in required |
Firefox Internet Explorer 8 (or higher) ActiveX Plug-in required **Does not support “Protected Mode” under Internet Explorer |
*NOTE: Local help installations may require modifying the browser to allow running active content from the hard disk. For search capability, the users should have a browser supporting either ActiveX (IE on Windows) or Java Environment plugin installed on their machine.
**NOTE: HyperWorks Graphical User Interface (GUI) products, when used with Ultra High Definition (UHD) displays consisting of 1920x1200 or higher (for example, 3200x1800, 3840x2160 or 4096x2160), may result in graphical problems. Some GUI items may not be displayed correctly, some functionality such as image captures many not capture images correctly, and window selection may become an issue. HyperWorks 2017 does not officially support these high screen resolutions. We suggest setting your resolution to 1920x1200 or lower to resolve or minimize these types of issues from occurring. Our development teams are aware of these problems and are working closely with the hardware vendors to find a quick resolution to the issue.
