As there’s nothing to download, it works perfectly with Mac OS platform. SimScale As a full-cloud engineering software, SimScale allows users to test, validate, and optimize their designs through Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis and Thermal Analysis via a web browser. Currently only yearly subscription is available.ĥ. As it’s also a cloud-based software, it works seamlessly with the Mac platform. It aims to solve the disconnection between the modelling tools and design data which slows down engineers’ work. OnShape Challenging SolidWorks, OnShape is a fast-growing modern CAD system. Payment is flexible with both monthly and yearly subscription available. The software covers all kinds of needs in structural engineering, from structural analysis, integrated design checks, 3D rendering, to section builder etc. As it’s fully cloud-based thus can work on any devices (fully compatible with Mac). Sk圜iv Sk圜iv is a leading structural engineering software that provides a full-suite structural design and analysis software. Software is purchased with yearly subscription.ģ. Among all Mac-compatible products, AutoCAD is the most popular one. After many years focusing only on Windows development, it has recently caught up with the Mac development. AutoCAD As a software giant in the engineering world, Autodesk makes software across the manufacturing, architecture, building, and construction industries. The stable version 2.3 release date of this software is December 24, 2016.
The software is written in C++ language and licensed under GNU GPL 3+ license.
Currently only license purchase is available for the Pro version.Ģ. It is a free libre and open source 2D and 3D CAD (computer-aided design) program that runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
It works on both Windows and Mac OS, and the intuitive interface has drawn a big community around it. SketchUp prides itself to be a very easy-to-use CAD software that can be used from early stages of design to the end of construction. SketchUp Pro Formally known as Google Sketchup, Sketchup Pro is a 3D modelling software that has a wide range of applications, including civil and mechanical engineering. Today let’s take a look at the top 5 engineering software which work on Mac:ġ. In the workforce, despite PC’s incumbent dominance, more and more people are choosing Mac over PC.įortunately, you don’t have to choose between engineering and Mac. But what about Mac users? There has been a rising obsession with Apple products, and the trend seems to be continuing. When talking about engineering software, PC has been dominant for many years as most software only run on Windows system.
