ASCON and LEDAS Ltd. jointly announced their cooperation in researching and developing innovative geometry search technology. The primary idea behind the technology is an easy-to-use tool for reusing existing geometry in the design process. ASCON invited LEDAS to join its R&D team for the new project, a move that continues the strand of technological cooperation between the two companies. (Previously, LEDAS adapted Variational Direct Modeling technology to ASCON's KOMPAS-3D software.) “ASCON is a well-recognized name in the MCAD and AEC markets, both of which are targeted by our products,” said Vladimir Zaharov, head of ASCON's AEC division. “Our new geometry search technology is addressed primarily at AEC, because it is characterized by more regular geometrical forms and bigger data volumes than MCAD." Searching for 2D and 3D Geometry Technically, geometry search is done at several levels. At the simple level, it searches for text labels in geometry, while at the advanced level it analyzes
