Best software for virtualisation?

[teknokid]

I just purchased a 15" rMacbook, which I will be using for a bit of Cad work.

I was wondering which app people find best for virtualisation and why?

I'll mainly be using solid works if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

I use parallels 10 for Solidworks. Works pretty well. Haven't tried rendering or any of the flow simulations so not sure about the performance difference but other than that it works fine.

Although if you're a student you can also get VMWare for free.

That's good to know - I'll probably be doing a bit of flow sim, hopefully that doesn't kill it..

Where abouts is the free student edition? The only ones I can find are ~£50?

Cheers

My uni won't offer me VMware as I'm not a IT student

I think I'll go with parallels, for solid works it looks like it's the best option, thank you!
