in this paper using strongly duplexes we introduce a new class of (semi)hypergroups. the associated (semi)hypergroup from a strongly duplex is called duplex (semi)hypergroup. two computer programs written in matlab show that the two groups $z_{2n}$ and $z_{n}times z_{2}$ produce a strongly duplex and its associated hypergroup is a complementary feasible hypergroup.
