**NOTE: HyperWorks Graphical User Interface (GUI) products (HyperMesh, HyperView, HyperGraph, MotionView,
etc), 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 14.0.120 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.
