I was under the impression that most engineering software for mechanical and aerospace engineers are only supported on Windows.
- smnrchrds 7y agoI am not sure about aerospace, but for mechanical engineering, SolidWorks is a must, and it is only available on Windows. Many other important pieces of software, for example ANSYS, ABAQUS, and Fluent are not available for Mac. In fact, the only mechanical engineering software I know is available for Mac is AutoCAD.

The expectation might not be for an immediate switch from software developers, but laying the groundwork for something longer term. We'll see how it pans out, but Apple are experiencing pressures they didn't experience a few years ago.
