Solidworks

Solidworks is iRobotics Official CAD Program for the 2020-21 year, and sponsors installs for personal computers (Do Not use these instructions on school computers. The University has its own licenses).

Prerequisites

System Requirements

Its probably worth mentioning Solidwork's official minimum system requirements (here under Solidworks 2020). Many of our members have had success installing on less powerful hardware as well. A graphics card is highly recommended, as well as plenty of free RAM (8g will do the trick without other programs open), and [xxgb] free space.

It's recommended to uninstall previous versions of Solidworks if you have any installed. It is possible to keep both installed and licensed, but not typically recommended.
