Solid edge is Windows only.

Since you do not want to make a Windows partition to install Boot Camp, you will have to run a virtual machine app like the paid Parallels or free VirtualBox to run Windows on your Mac.

For both Boot Camp and a a virtual machine you will have to purchases the windows operating system

i didn't get suitable solution for my problem

always we cant access college lab computers

as well as we have to practice at home and when exam time comes near we cant sit at college lab and practice

if we can't practice at home what we needed then what is use of computer at home ?

only to store data and to make time pass ?

we are buying computer at home to study and to do our work.

You should ask your educational institution where you can get access to a lab full of computers running solid edge, that have enough compute power and LARGE or multiple displays suitable for Computer-Aided design work. They should also be making output devices, such as plotters, available for your final output (possibly with a per-sheet cost).


Doing such work on a the tiny screen of a MacBook is nonsense.


The package is also very expensive. You should not be expected to purchase it -- they should make it available, already installed and running, in one of the school's labs.
