SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux is a user-contributed script and environment setup project that enables running SOLIDWORKS, the professional 3D CAD software, on Linux via Wine and custom configurations.

While not officially supported, it aims to bridge the platform gap with the help of community collaboration and open-source tools.
