Problems with the graphics in FEM-Design

I have some graphic problems when running FEM-Design. How can I solve it?

If you are experiencing some graphic related problems there are some things we advice to do:

• make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphic card, if not - update it, 
• if the latest driver does not help, switch to another graphic engine in FEM-Design (for instance from OpenGL to DirectX or oposite),
• if the last action did not help, switch to one of the safe modes: OpenGL - safe mode ot DirectX - safe mode, 
• if none of the actions helped, select to Disable all hardware acceleration.
