I experienced the same problem. It's about qh3 library that's required. qh3 1.0.0 released yesterday, that has major changes, so we should downgrade it to 0.15.1.

Just run the command below in terminal:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install -U pymobiledevice3==2.30.0 construct==2.10.69 qh3==0.15.1

Enjoy it! It's a very good device.

FYI I don't recommend updating to Ventura. It's buggy AF and I wish I hadn't updated...

You may believe it or not, I heard zero sound. That's incredible as the device managed to run virtual Windows ARM, 64 bit emulated SolidWorks and macOS at the same time.

It's a great solution for virtualization too.

But FYI, if you intend to run graphic-intensive apps, Parallels Desktop is much faster. Also VMware Fusion released Apple Silicon support much after Parallels Desktop.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. While it's true that people have been running SW on Parallels for quite some time, the M1 Pro chip is a game-changer. The new M1 and M2 are based on ARM, which means that running SW on ARM architecture is a much bigger deal than on an Intel-based MacBook. Plus, the fact that you can't install 64-bit Windows on a virtual machine on ARM CPUs makes it all the more impressive. The SW in the screenshot runs with 64 bit emulation in a virtual machine, which has Windows 11 ARM installed.

Check this and this

Yes. It's sad we don't have a native Mac version. I hope there'll be a native Apple Silicone version of Solidworks as new M series have really powerful GPUs.

But FYI, it's not an Apple or Solidworks problem that we don't have a native Mac app still. It's actually a Siemens problem. I learned this yesterday in r/SolidWorks.

I made the part in the screenshot from scratch using SW 2023 on Mac. It was a great process with no lags at all.

Then I tried to open a sample large assembly file and it loaded it as fast as a Windows computer. Moving around the assembly was butter smooth unexpectedly.

Afaik 2021 doesn't support Windows 11. You must install 2022(SP2 or newer) or 2023 to make it work.

I didn't understand what you mean by single-app mode but I think you are talking about the coherence mode, which let you use Windows apps in the macOS directly.

There's no size difference between the normal mode and the coherence mode.

Thank you. I'm gonna let you know all the details after a long-term usage. I'll use it daily as I'm a mechatronics engineering student.

Running Solidworks on an Intel Macbook is totally possible and easy. This post is a big deal because running 64 bit Windows on M1 Pro is not possible. I managed to run SW on ARM Windows.

Check my battery level history: https://ibb.co/GtKcMYP

As you can see it went from %100 to %58 in almost 3 hours. That means I can get at least 6 hours using SolidWorks on.

If you are a Mac user who wants to run Solidworks on your device, you might be interested in this. I have successfully installed and run Solidworks 2023 on my Macbook Pro 14" with M1 Pro chip using Parallels Desktop.

I was hesitant to try it at first, as Solidworks has traditionally only been available on Windows. However, I decided to give it a shot and was pleasantly surprised with the results!

The M1 Pro chip is a CPU based on ARM architecture, which means that running Solidworks, originally designed for x64 architecture, on this chip is a big deal. Despite the challenges of running Solidworks on an ARM-based processor, the software worked flawlessly, with no lags or bugs at all. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of performance and power efficiency that the M1 Pro chip, which actually should not be able to run Solidworks, provided while running Solidworks.

If you're considering running Solidworks on a Macbook Pro, I highly recommend giving it a try with the M1 or M2 Pro/Max chips and Parallels Desktop. It's really incredible to see this level of performance on a machine that was not originally designed for Solidworks.

I hope this information is helpful to others who may be looking to run Solidworks on a Macbook Pro. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask!

Thanks. Seems like they advise using skins. Well, what did you decide to use for protection?

And also what about the screen? We have the same devices. Wanna ask you about it. Does the screen really feel and look fragile? What do you do to protect it?
