KOMPAS-3D v20
ASCON forged the KOMPAS-3D design system to be so powerful that it manages projects with thousands of sub-assemblies, parts, and objects from standards libraries. It provides you with all the 3D modeling capabilities that are standard among mid-level CAD/CAM programs today.
Solid Modeling
Solid modeling typically starts by drawing 2D sketch objects, which you turn into 3D parts fixing them with constraints, extruding them by specified distances, rotating them about their axis, and so on.
You further refine 3D parts with editing commands that add chamfers and fillets, cut holes, add stiffeners, and much more.
To create complex assemblies, you join multiple parts together with rules and 3D constraints.
Surface Modeling
Surface models typically begin with the creation of 2D and 3D profiles made from all sorts of curves, spatial lines, and points.
You then create 3D surfaces by extruding, revolving, and generating them along paths; by defining sections, and grids of curves; and more. You can further refine surfaces by trimming, splitting, extending, and restoring them; by adding cutouts to them; and so on.
KOMPAS-3D turns surfaces into solid models when you assign thicknesses and materials to them.
Sheet Metal Modeling
KOMPAS-3D designs all kinds of sheet metal parts, instrument packages, electrical cabinets, brackets, and so on with its sheet metal functions.
You can design practically anything that can be produced by sheet metal forming like bending and stamping.
Once your design is complete, you prepare sheet metal parts for production by generating dimensioned flat patterns from them.
Object Modeling
Instead of drawing sketches and modeling parts, image adding them to assemblies much more quickly with the assistance of pre-drawn objects. You design rapidly with objects based on typical industry parts, such as pipes, gears, fasteners, and other metal shapes.
KOMPAS-3D offers objects that can be modified quickly, understand how to behave with other parts in models, and store useful information about themselves.
KOMPAS-3D supports modern design methods, top-down and bottom-up.
An extensive database of fasteners and materials allows you to use these parts in models, drawings, and specifications.
Parametric modeling gives you the ability consider multiple design options for one product. Once you set up the model with variables, its geometry is changed easily, arriving at configurations that contain different combinations of different geometry.
KOMPAS-3D quickly identifies possible collisions between parts by locating, for example, places where components, even the smallest ones, intersect. As well, it finds inconsistencies between threaded connections, and all gaps smaller than a value that you specify.
You can place PMI tags in models, which contain all of the information necessary for the manufacture of products.
KOMPAS-3D provides a number of engineering calculators:
Additional applications help you to solve problems specific to electrical engineering, electronics, mechanics, and equipment.
Given the variety of design systems on the market, KOMPAS-3D allows you to work with data from other CAD systems documents. For instance, the DWG/DXF format is probably familiar to most engineers, as it has become a de facto standard internationally.
KOMPAS-3D is convenient for generating many types of documentation, such as drawings, specifications, and diagrams.
You can prepare drawings without a model by selecting a pre-set document style or else by creating your own style.
Drawings associated with 3D models are the fastest way to obtain 2D product drawings, along with all required views and projections. After you change geometry in the model, the associated drawings and their dimensions are rebuilt automatically. When working with assemblies, you can place position symbols and specifications in drawings semi-automatically.
To make KOMPAS-3D easier to use, you can customize its interface by create your own toolbars and context-sensitive panels. This way, the functions you use the most are always at hand. Shortcut hotkeys can be configured for any command. The built-in command name search is useful to both experienced and novice KOMPAS-3D users.
