Here’s an interesting, engaging post tailored for engineering students or educators who use macOS and struggle with finding good mechanics of materials software. 🍎 MDSolids on Mac: The Quest for the Holy Grail of Beam Bending
Using Wine or the paid CrossOver app, some users have gotten MDSolids (specifically version 1.5.5) running without a full Windows install. It’s not 100% stable (random font glitches, occasional crashes during Mohr’s circle), but for a quick homework check? It works. Mdsolids For Mac
Run Windows 11 ARM on an M1/M2/M3 Mac via Parallels Desktop. MDSolids flies in this environment. Downside? Parallels costs $$ and you need a Windows license. But if you’re a civil/mech engineering major, it’s probably worth it. Here’s an interesting
