ASCON Released the Next Update of KOMPAS-3D V9
ASCON Group announced an improved version of its Mechanical CAD software KOMPAS-3D V9 SP2. KOMPAS solutions provide classic framework for 3D Solid Parametric Modelling, 2D Drafting, Design and Release of Documentations. Wide range of add-ons and libraries arrange additional features, such as photo rendering, animation, kinematic and dynamic analysis, extended CAD/CAM/PLM integration and others.
One of the main novelties in KOMPAS-3D V9 SP2 is a newly developed autorun which allows direct installation of KOMPAS in one of four languages (English, German, French and Czech), provides easy access to technical documentation, support, as well as to KOMPAS Discussion Forum of users. An Interactive Learning System «KOMPAS-ABC» in German is one more improvement. Just 12 easy lessons in this system considerably simplify process of CAD learning and make the move from 2D to 3D CAD faster. Initially this system was only available in English and Russian but now German-speaking designers, engineers and other KOMPAS users are able to spend even less time for learning of these mechanical CAD solutions and concentrate more on design.
Another important add-on in KOMPAS-3D is TraceParts library. This library extends ASCON own database with a variety of leading parts supplier catalogs. KOMPAS users have the ability to import manufacturers and standard parts direct from TraceParts library. It is one of the largest Mechanical Parts libraries in the world and allows to work with more than 100 million 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, containing European-based and other parts suppliers in the tooling, machinery, aerospace, automotive and many others industries.
To try out this improved mechanical CAD solution, visit ASCON at Hannover Messe Digital Factory 2008 in Hall 17 Booth A69 or download Demoversion of KOMPAS-3D V9 SP2 from http://www.ascon.net.
