When you install MI Materials Gateway using the Setup Manager, you are prompted to select the integration that you require (your host application and version). If you have more than one host application on the same client machine, you can install Gateway integrations for each host application.

For the majority of supported host applications, if you have more than one version of the host application running on the same machine, then you can install a Gateway integration for each host version.

Specific constraints apply to the following host applications.

HyperMesh

The software package includes one MI Materials Gateway integration for HyperMesh, that can be used with all supported versions of HyperMesh.

Note: If you plan to upgrade the host application at any time after installing MI Materials Gateway, you should uninstall MI Materials Gateway before upgrading the host application, and reinstall it after the host upgrade is complete.
