HyperMesh Import / export: Radioss, OptiStruct limited to 100,000 nodes.

HyperCrash export limited to 100,000 nodes.

Solvers cannot be started from a command line (only from within the Analysis page from within the Graphical User Interface.

Multi-Body models (MotionSolve): 200 bodies.

Radioss runs are restricted to 4 cores (-nt4).

OptiStruct Optimization is node limited.

License error 9 and 6 is printed in the solver window, despite solving the file for both Radioss and OptiStruct, this error can be ignored and results will be output correctly.

will show a license error while solving, this error can be ignored and results will be output correctly
