free solid works?

[autobot]

I am wondering if there is a free version of solid works available for learning purposes. It doesnt need to be able to export anything. Just want to learn the interface.

i'm not 100% sure but I think that if you can find an install disk, SW will run for 30 days without being registered.

You might also contact your local reseller and see if they can get an evaluation copy for you.

You can download a trial directly from their website, no?

The best thing to do, is enroll in your community college, then you can buy the "Student Version" of Solidworks for about $98.00 good for 12 months.

Maybe you should think before you talk. Being a engineering student I don't have thousands to throw at solidworks for there product. Unless you want to buy it for me, then I will use torrents to get through school.

It's <$100 for you. About what a textbook costs.

That's right if I was at a community college. At my four year school they don't have that. It's either work in campus lab or get it for your computer. I don't think the 100 dollar version has cosmos or flow either. I doń think this guy wanting the software needs that as he just wants to learn the software.

BS. they'll give it to pretty much anyone with a student ID: https://store.solidworks.com/student...?command=Step1

And, it's the premium edition to get you hooked.
