Permission Requirements
In the following sections, the following symbols are used:
%HYPERSIM_DIR%: The path to the HYPERSIM installation.
By default, this value is C:\OPAL-RT\HYPERSIM\hypersim_version ; where hypersim_version is the folder of the current version, for example, "hypersim_2021.3.1.o187".
%USERPROFILE%: The user directory. By default, this value is C:\Users\userName; where userName is the Windows user name, for example, "JohnSmith"
Note 1: HYPERSIM currently does not support spaces in this path.
Note 2: In some rare cases, user names with capital letters may trigger errors when writing to the target code directory. If such an issue occurs, please use the Target manager Manager Diagnostic to get additional information.
...
read/execute permissions in %HYPERSIM_DIR%.
Most HYPERSIM processes start from this location, the main ones being:
Process name | Usage | Ports | Permission notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Hyperworks.exe | Design interface | 13510, 32768-65535 | You need an internet connection to use the target manager to request a target license |
HyWorks.exe | Main HYPERSIM application | 111, 600-1023, 4569, 13510 | 4569 used by the sequencer tool |
HyCore.exe | Target interaction application | 111, 600-1023, 13500, 32768-65535 | |
ActivationTool.exe | Host license installation | 111, 600-1023 | You need an internet connection to use the ActivationTool to request a host license |

The executables above may start any executable in %HYPERSIM_DIR%. They need to be authorized through the firewall.

%USERPROFILE%/My Documents/HYPERSIM is the default location suggested for creating HYPERSIM models.
Make sure any selected location or pathname is not very long--otherwise, the generated files may exceed Windows path length limitations.
Logs and user preferences are stored in %USERPROFILE%/HYPERSIM.
The localhost target default code generation is in the %USERPROFILE%/HYPERSIM folder. A process with the name of the model starts from this location.
Running a simulation, on localhost or on a target, may use ports 17511 through 17599 for interaction with I/O Interfaces.
...
This step is only required for versions 2021.3 and earlier. To communicate with a Linux target, users need to must ensure their SAMBA permissions are sufficient. Specifically, they need the option below enabled. If this option is missing, the Diagnostic_Tool can provide a solution on how to install for installing it.

UDP ports 137, 138 and TCP ports 139 and 445 must be freed for the successful running of HYPERSIM, as Windows 10 disables them by default in certain configurations (e.g. guest access). Please contact your IT department in case of issues with Samba2. HYPERSIM uses UDP protocol on ports 137-138 and TCP ports 139, 445 to exchange information between the localhost and the target.
