Before
we
start,
be
aware
that
this
guide
assumes
two
things:


1.

)
You
are
installing
this

program
on
a
32
bit
operating
system.

2.)
You
do
not
have
a
previous
version
of
SolidWorks

installed
on
your
computer.

This
guide
is
basically
noob
proof
right
now,
but
if
you
are

installing
on
a
64
bit
system
or
have
a
previous
version
of
SolidWorks
installed
there
may
be

some
small
differences
which
you
will
have
to
work
through.

I
recommend
uninstalling
any

previous
version
of
SolidWorks
before
installing
this
version.

I
know
for
a
fact
that
if
you
had

hacked
versions
of
SolidWorks
2008
with
COSMOS,
all
of
the
COSMOS
functions
will
not
be

available
in
SolidWorks
2009
unless
you
uninstall
the
older
version
first.

Let’s
move
on…


1. DISABLE
YOUR
INTERNET!

UNPLUG
YOUR
LAN
LINE,
UNPLUG
YOUR
MODEM,
DISABLE

IN
WINDOWS,
DO
SOMETHING,
JUST
MAKE
SURE
IT
IS
OFF!





2. Mount
the
32
bit
or
64
bit
SolidWorks
2009
ISO
file
using
Alcohol120%
or
a
similar
tool.


Alternatively
you
can
also
burn
the
image
to
using
Nero
or
whatever
burning
software
you

prefer.

YOU
CAN
ONLY
USE
THE
32
BIT
VERSION
OF
SOLIDWORKS
2009
ON
A
32
BIT

OPERATING
SYSTEM
AND
CAN
ONLY
USE
THE
64
BIT
VERIONS
OF
SOLIDWORKS
2009
ON
A
64

BIT
OPERATING
SYSTEM.





3. Once
you
mount
the
ISO
image
of
your
choosing
or
insert
the
disc
you
have
created

from
the
ISO
image
of
your
choosing,
the
SolidWorks
2009
Installation
Manager
will

automatically
start.

If
it
does
not
automatically
start
simply
double
click
on
the
virtual
drive

that
has
the
ISO
image
mounted
to
it
or
the
CD
drive
that
has
the
SolidWorks
2009
disc
in
it.


Copy
and
paste
one
of
the
following
serial
numbers,
it
does
not
matter
which
one,
then
click

next.





0001000107360361

Or

0001000107360361JK3QHDJ3



 






4. When
you
click
next
you
will
get
the
warning
below.

It
is
trying
to
check
the
internet
to

verify
your
serial
number,
but
thankfully
your
internet
is
disabled.

Click
cancel
to
proceed.











5. No
need
to
record
your
serial
number,
because
it
isn’t
really
yours
anyways!

Click
next

to
proceed.











6. Click
next
on
the
screen
below.











7. Choose
individual
on
the
screen
below
then
click
next.











8. On
this
screen
you
will
choose
the
features
of
SolidWorks
2009
you
want
to
install.


SolidWorks
Premium
is
selected
by
default,
and
this
selection
will
give
you
the
maximum

amount
of
features.

IF
YOU
WANT
COSMOS
YOU
OR
API
TOOLS
YOU
WILL
HAVE
TO
SELECT

TO
INSTALL
THEM
HERE.

Incase
you
were
wondering,
API
tools
is
for
SolidWorks
environment

development.

Unless
you
are
a
software
programmer
making
add‐on
applications
for

SolidWorks
you
probably
don’t
need
it.

Another
side
note,
COSMOS
is
named
“COSMOS”
here

during
the
installation,
but
when
you
start
using
SolidWorks
it
will
be
called
“Simulation”.


“Simulation”
is
the
new
“COSMOS”.

More
details
on
this
subject
at
the
end
of
the
guide.











9. This
screen
lets
you
pick
the
SolidWorks
toolbox
location.

Unless
you
have
a
tool
box

with
a
lot
of
stuff
in
it
already,
just
leave
this
at
its
default
location
and
click
next.











10. This
screen
asks
if
you
want
to
wait
to
install.

Click
install
now
if
you
are
ready
to

install…
It
will
take
about
20
min
or
less
on
a
fast
computer.

Once
you
click
install
now
a

progress
bar
will
start.







11. Once
the
progress
bar
reaches
100%
the
screen
below
will
appear.

MAKE
SURE
YOU

DON’T
CHECK
FOR
UPDATES
OR
PARTICIPATE
IN
THE
CUSTOMER
EXPERINECE
PROGRAM.

I

recommend
un‐checking
all
of
the
boxes
in
this
window
and
then
click
finish.

Once
you
click

finish
you
may
be
asked
to
restart
computer,
DON’T
RESTART
YET!











12. Now
that
the
installation
is
complete,
it
is
time
to
apply
the
patch.

You
will
have
to
use

WINRAR
to
unzip
the
crack
files.

After
the
files
are
unzipped
select
the
one
you
need
according

to
the
version
of
SolidWorks
you
installed,
either
32
bit
or
64
bit.

Run
the
patch
and
direct
the

TARGET
FILE
to
the
following
path
below.

The
file
will
only
be
in
this
location
if
you
used
the

default
installation
settings.

Once
you
have
selected
the
correct
file
path
click
start
in
the
patch

program.

After
the
patch
does
its
thing,
click
OK
in
the
popup
window
to
end
the
patch

program.


C:\Program
Files\SolidWorks
Corp\SolidWorks\sldappu.dll














13. Next
copy
the
LICENSE.DAT
file
from
the
crack
/
patch
folder
labeled
COSMOS
and
paste

it
into
the
directory
below.




C:\Program
Files\SolidWorks
Corp\SolidWorks\COSMOS\License


14. Next
copy
the
NEXUS3.DLL
file
from
the
crack
/
patch
folder
labeled
PhotoView
360
and

paste
it
into
the
directory
below
overwriting
the
original
one.


C:\Program
Files\SolidWorks
Corp\PhotoView
360


15. Restart
your
computer.


16. Enable
your
internet.





17. Start
SolidWorks
then
go
to
TOOLS
and
select
ADD‐INS.

Here
you
can
tell
SolidWorks
to

inatilaize
COSMOS
/
SolidWorks
Simulation
programs
at
startup.



 



18. If
for
some
reason
you
don’t
see
all
of
the
options
listed
in
the
box
above,
you
may
need

to
EXPLORE
or
OPEN
the
drive
you
were
installing
SolidWorks
from
(your
virtual
drive
with
ISO

image
mounted
or
CD
drive
with
the
disc
you
created
in
it)
and
choose
to
install
the
missing

options
manually.

COSMOS
stuff
is
located
in
the
folder
named
cwwi.
You
will
have
to
open

the
individual
COSMOS
folders
one
at
a
time
and
install
whatever
didn’t
install
correctly
the

first
time.

Install
by
clicking
any
of
the
.EXE
files
inside
the
different
COSMOS
folders.




19. Finally
done!

Hope
this
helps
some
people
that
don’t
speak
Russian.





As
mentioned
at
the
start
of
this
guide,
many
items
that
did
have
“COSMOS”
in
the
name
now

appear
in
SolidWorks
as
“Simulation”.

Here
is
a
breakdown
of
what
changed
to
what…

P.S.
To
SolidWorks…
I
love
your
software
and
I
would
buy
it
if
I
weren’t
so
poor…

Sorry.
