As per https://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html SolidWorks is only available for the Windows platform.

Solidworks may run in VirtualBox, but it's highly unlikely.
Your only option is to dual-boot Windows (Mint forum will explain what to do).

  Last time I tried it worked (VirtualBox) only without graphics acceleration, so it was little bit slow with large assemblies.
