I read that Dassault is quite active in tracking down pirates, and honestly I don’t see the need to resort to potentially installing malware (how much ethics can you expect from random torrents anyway) when the free alternatives seem good enough?

Just pirate solidworks and enjoy industry standard. Free software is 10 years behind and cheaper alternatives are still expensive.

They are not good enough, not even close, at least not for me…unfortunately. Its not random torrent btw, solidsquad (probably guys from DS) are releasing every single version. If you are satisfied with free alternatives then look no further. Using it since 2008 and even that old version is much more advanced compared to anything thats free today. Cant wait when foss reach that level, but Im afraid Im too old for that

I mean do your really need the latest fluid stimulation just to block out a model for printing?

No I dont need flow simulation at all, basic features in 15 years old SW are enough for almost everything I need.
Well I think learning SW was a big mistake and I blame my uni for that 🤣
