Remote Labs
The UMS RemoteLab system provides students and faculty with the ability to access academic software typically restricted to physical computer labs from home. This service establishes a remote connection to a Windows PC workstation located in a physical computer lab on one of our campuses. This service supports remote connections from either a home Windows PC or Mac. Software that is currently available through this service is the same as that offered by the respective labs.
Note: Some resource intensive software (intensive graphic programs, etc) may not perform as well over a remote connection.)
There is one question that we probably get 1-2 times per day in the CADimensions offices, which is, “Is there a SOLIDWORKS for Mac?” We would like to start with a disclaimer. There are obviously arguments to be made for both sides of this debate which is nothing that we intend to settle here. Solidworks FREE for students. It has free Symantec AntiVirus Protection for Windows and Mac for students. To download the software available through BYU visit. Solidworks Student Engineering Kit is available to HSSOE students at no cost. This is a full version of Solidworks. There is no cost to end-users. Details about features included in Solidworks SEK. Solidworks SEK is a full-version for student-owned.
