Getting started using Solidworks

[dryad2b]

This is where we should page @David_A_Tucker, who knows many things about SolidWorks. Mostly he knows how you get your own personal free version.

Solidworks Licenses

I’m tickled pink to announce that, with the help and generosity of Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp (“Dassault”), we restored our access to our student/maker licenses for Solidworks. Here’s how to get one. These licenses are for our members only. What is Solidworks Solidworks is an industry-leading software program used for generating sophisticated 3D computer models – typically of machines, parts, art objects, and the like.

I do not currently have a copy. And do not have a computer to run it.

how do I access Solidworks 2022 on the Pillar of Solitude computers. Is it a special server? I’m not finding it on the PC

[TBJK]

I’ve been informed that they have been using the Jump server edition in the Solidworks class

[dryad2b]

To get to the Jump Server:
Go to the “Type here to search” on the bottom left.
Type R – Remote Desktop should pop into place. Click that.
There will be a pop-up box on your screen for physical.dms.org. If it’s whining about the date of our certificate, just ignore that. You’ll need to sign in with your username (not your email), and your account password (which may or may not be different from your Talk password). And, I think we’ve got SolidWorks 2017…

Re: passwords. Personally, my account password and my Talk password are the same. If yours are different, then you need the one for the account.

I had a senior moment guys, apologies. We have Mastercam 2022 installed with 8 licenses, not SOLIDWORKS .

Thanks everyone for the help! Definitely cleared things up
