In this post, you will find useful information on how to get started with the installation of SOLIDWORKS Design Augmented.
Prerequisites
- Hardware and software requirements, and certified workstations are available here. You can also use the Cloud Eligibility Checker to see if your system is compatible.
You can install and run SOLIDWORKS Design on consumer systems that are not compatible, namely systems that do not have professional graphics cards (NVIDIA Quadro / NVIDIA RTX Series, AMD Radeon™ PRO). However, SOLIDWORKS Design is optimized for Windows® 10 workstations and professional laptops.
- SOLIDWORKS Design requires 15.5 GB of disk space.
Notes
- On non-Windows® systems like macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Chrome OS, or Android, you do not see the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS role in the Compass. SOLIDWORKS Design is only supported on Windows. On these systems, you can only use browser-based apps, like SOLIDWORKS xDesign.
- You cannot install the same major version of SOLIDWORKS Design and SOLIDWORKS Design Augmented on the same computer. For example, SOLIDWORKS Design Augmented R2025x cannot be installed on the same computer as SOLIDWORKS Design 2025. You can use older versions of SOLIDWORKS Design alongside SOLIDWORKS Design Augmented R2025x.
