About other software – supported version
Supported versions of software whose coupling is possible with Flux
External software
The use of external software can be achieved with the versions listed in the table below.
| External software | Supported version | Supported OS |
|---|---|---|
| Simulink | 2020 a&b, 2021 a&b | Windows |
| Matlab | 2020 a&b, 2021 a&b | Windows / Linux |
| Microsoft Excel | 64 bits | Windows |
Note: For advanced users, a coupling between Flux in Linux and Matlab in Windows is
possible.
Altair software
The coupling between Flux 2022.2 and other Altair software can be achieved with these versions:
| Functionalities | Altair software | supported version (and above) | Windows 10 | Linux (Oracle 8.4 and SUSE 15 SP3) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Co-simulation | Activate | 2022 |  |
|
| Export to.. (Thermal analysis) | AcuSolve | 2022 | |
|
| Export to .. (Vibroacoustics and mechanical analysis) | OptiStruct | 2022 | |
|
| Shape optimization | OptiStruct | 2022 | |
|
| Flux driven by.. | Compose | 2022 | |
OML language:  Python language: |
| Material Identification | Compose | 2022 | |
|
| Mesh import | HyperMesh | 2022 | |
|
| Mesh import | SimLab | 2022 | |
|
| Parametric optimization | HyperStudy | 2022 | |
|
Note: Compose 2022.2 version does not enable Material
Identification tool delivered in Flux 2022.2 to work properly. It is strongly
recommended to use Compose 2022.1 to run Flux 2022.2 Material Identification tool or
to move to Compose and Flux further version 2022.3.
