To make SolidWorks functional, the server must host certified workstation-grade GPUs (NVIDIA RTX series or AMD Radeon Pro) that support hardware virtualization. Technologies such as (Virtual GPU) or AMD MxGPU allow a single physical GPU to be partitioned into multiple virtual GPUs, each assigned to a specific user session.
Alternative solutions, such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or PC-over-IP solutions are strongly recommended over standard RDS implementations. solidworks terminal server
While technically possible to install and launch SOLIDWORKS in an RDS environment, Dassault Systèmes (the developer of SOLIDWORKS) does not support or recommend this configuration. Organizations pursuing this setup face significant challenges regarding software licensing compliance, graphical performance degradation, and administrative overhead. To make SolidWorks functional, the server must host
This setup enables:
