Factory Design Suite Student

[noahpd]

Hi,

My name is Noah D. I am 16 years old and I am interested in industrial engineering. I am looking to get a head start and also just to have fun and I found the Factory design suite. But I am having trouble finding how to install it as a student (free ). Can someone tell me how to do it or if I can do it? If you can that would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the community Noah.

You're definitely right about getting a head start.  I have done the same for my 16 year old daughter and the Autodesk Creation Suite.

You should start here to download your software and apply for a student license:

Good Luck!

Well, I already have an account and have been using Inventor for a while now (probably should have mentioned that, sorry). What I am looking for is primarily the Factory design suite. I can download all other programs except for that. 

Here is the main page of the factory design suite.

Here is a link to a page that gives all the programs. The thing I think I need is 2nd from the top.

As I said, all other programs are available through the student download but I can find the main suite.........

Yeah, it doesn't appear to be available as a student edition that I can see.

But you can at least download it and possibly run it as a trial to see if it is what you need.

Ok, I had a feeling that it wasn't available. What exactly does the suite do? (what is it's purpose) I can get all the other programs with student but what does the suite do?
