Easiest way to install OptiStruct on MacOs with M1 Pro chip trough Windows

Mattia Fianco

Good morning,

I have an M1 Pro Mac and I need to install OptisStruct. Could someone please tell me which is the best way to do it considering all the limitations given by ARM chips?

I considered installing Windows using Parallels but, it is not possible to install the 64 bit version. Is there any version of OptiStruct which runs on 32 bit Windows?

Hello, 

There used to be old versions that run 32 bits, but the oldest that there is in the website if believe it does not support 32 bits. It's been a while since I don't use one of those. 

MACOs is not supported. I remember having a friend that had a partition in is hard drive with Windows in it a while ago. Not sure if there are also other ways to install the linux version on a Mac. 

Sorry i cannot be of further help.
