ASCON Awarded Winners of KOMPAS-3D Modelling Contest 2008
ASCON held an awarding ceremony of winners of the sixth KOMPAS-3D Modelling Contest in Radisson SAS Slavyanskaya. This year the Contest established a new record — 41 project from 54 industrial enterprises, which work in the Mechanical CAD solution KOMPAS-3D.
Range of projects from different industry branches were submitted for the contest, including machinery, automotive, oil, gas, shipbuilding, aerospace and defense, architecture, electronics and many others. Most of event participants are longstanding clients of KOMPAS-3D. Quite a number of industrial enterprises have just recently started to work with the system but they already obtained impressive results. Many projects at KOMPAS-3D Modelling Contest 2008 exceeded 10000 parts in the assembly.
Contest's judging criteria included effective and professional usage of 3D Parametric Modelling and 2D drafting software: parametrization of sketches with control dimensions, trimmings in assemblies, active use of all possibilities of KOMPAS-3D: bending, stamping, massifs, macroelements etc. All projects contain complex parts and sub-assemblies, units worked out with high quality. Here are the winners of KOMPAS-3D contest:
I Place
Project: “Cargo diesel locomotive 2TE70”
Enterprise: “Kolomensky Zavod”
II Place
Project: Turbogenerator type TA-6-2MU2
Enterprise: Plant “Electrotiazhmsh” SE, Kharkov
III Place
Project: The complex of the equipment for manufacturing polymer-bitumen ribbons LIM7
Enterprise: ZAO “Prominsulation”, Nizhny Novgorod
The absolute winner of the Contest was awarded to a powerful graphic station ARBYTE equipped with video card NVIDIA Quadro FX by PNY Technologies and 3D navigation device by 3Dconnexion, Logitech company.
This year according to wishes of last year's competition participants for the first time in the history of Contest projects were divided into four categories: up to 200 parts, from 200 up to 1000 parts, from 1000 to 5000 and from 5000 parts.
