Mac vs Windows for Mechanical Engineers / Mechatronics / Software Compatibility and experiences

You can use solidworks with parallels. 16GB RAM preffered.

Fun fact - Apple engineers use Windows OS machines to develop the Mac OS machines.

Mac just does not work for professional engineers. Sure you can make it works but it will work like crap.

Very useful, Thank you!!

Can we use etap on Mac M series

La verdad no se como llegue a este tipo de videos pero realmente resultan interesantes

I'm a civil engineering student, and I was thinking of buying the M1 MacBook Pro 14" (mainly for the battery life and the portability), but I must admit, switching from Windows to MacOS is pretty scary for me. The main concern I have as a civil engineering student is the software compatibility on the MacOS. I have been doing a lot of research on it, but I seem to get a 50-50 answers. Could you or anyone else advise me on this. Thank you.

what good specs should i look after and how much

What about SCIA and Allplan? Can they be installed on Mac via VM?

I have a question for you, my son he’s going to go to college next year for mechanical engineering. and he wants a MacBook pro computer so bad. I see you talking about Windows computer. What would be the best computer for him

for those who use Archicad like us, the choice of Mac seems logical... given that Archicad was born 100% together with Mac. The problem is for other types of software that are used in an architectural studio, such as cad dwg or quantity takeoffs. Every three or four years, when we have to renew our PCs, we think it's the right time to switch to Mac, but then we never do it because the right balance can never be found between cost (including maintenance, which on Mac is terribly expensive) and software compatibility

Electrical engineer:
My 2017 15 in mac have:
macOS: autocad, software development IDEs, fusion 360, Apple ecosystem.
Windows Bootcamp: TIA portal, wplsoft, plc next and few things more.
Am totally pleased with MacBooks, I can’t imagine living without mine.

Gracias!
Es exactamente el video que buscaba.

Thanks buddy, the video is extremely helpful

no olvides fluidSIM tampoco esta en mac y es importante, no conosco otro programa parecido si alguien conoce digame plis

It goes without saying, for design engineers that love Apple, the lack off Solidworks Native compatibility, is a absolute heart break.

素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます！
m2max 12-38-32GBモデルでfusion360は快適に使用できると思いますか？
僕は靴の木型を設計するつもりです。

Very educative, 🥰

great video Jorge, it helped me a lot , thank you!

Will matlab run in the older macbook models like 2015?

For FEM it is possible to use COMSOL which is not free, and FEBIO which is free and both are fully compatible with MacOS.

Hi Jorge, did you run FreeCAD already on the M1 Silicon?

And does arduino work on macbook air m1

Does matlab support on m1 chip

What are the specs of your laptop in this video with parallels?

Shapr 3D is a really good app as well for 3D modeling on a Mac. Free for students and I’ve used it for 3D prints as well. Personally I wish I would’ve went with a Microsoft pc for college but I do love my MacBook for everything else. Not being able to use solid works and inventor in my senior year has been somewhat of a detriment. Main reason I got a MacBook was for longevity as I’ve had mine for 7 years and it’s running stronger than ever

Great video Jorge, thanks a lot for the complete information!

I need solidworks on Mac OS

Great knowledge 👏 u have

Nice video thanks

Thanks. It’s helpful for me.

Delcam is supporting in MacBook pls answer And creck version is supported Answer me please I’m very confused 🫤 any others software like nx delcam and mastercam

Thanks a lot. informative video.

Thanks a lot !

I'd recommend Macbook Air for productivity and a Windows desktop for everything else.
Being realistic, a laptop is not appropriate to run real FEM simulations or to do intensive CAD modelling. A desktop Mac, like a MacPro, is badly overpriced. Now think about games!
Again, a Windows desktop is the best option for high performance tasks and almost every single productivity app is compatible with MacOS.

Thanks it helped me decide what I need to buy for my job
