ASCON Group launched KOMPAS-3D v15 for advanced parametric 3d modeling

ASCON Group, the leading solution provider in high-performance CAD/AEC/PLM software systems, just launched the most updated version of KOMPAS-3D Home alias KOMPAS-3D v15. The part-time designers, hobby designers, hobby engineers as well as full-time students can use this parametric software for non-commercial purpose.

KOMPAS-3D Home is an easy to use 3D modeling application that facilitates the users to 3D models parametrically. Parametric technology is supported with a single prototype and can create a wide array of products instantly.

KOMPAS-3D Home contains some useful functions which can generate precise plans, concise diagrams, documented reports as well as vector-based illustrations output in PDF format. There is drawing editor incorporated with it which offers diversified design disciplines through adjustable and automatic work processes.

The innovative KOMPAS-ABC learning system comprising several instances of 3D models, 2D drawings, and surface models, allows the users to be familiar with CAD through self-study and apply the functions of KOMPAS-3D Home efficiently.

KOMPAS-3D Home comes with professional surfacing commands which empower users to make simple or complicated shapes as per the design requirements.

The users can also model virtual body surfaces containing a thickness of zero, the type of flexible body useful for composite geometries.

KOMPAS-3D Home is based on a specifically developed version of Ascon group’s own modeling kernel that integrates the features of parametric construction, history-based design, and direct modeling essential for solids as well as surfaces modeling.

KOMPAS-3D Home is compatible with DWG, DXF, and STEP having ability to read design files from a series of other CAD, CAM, and CAE systems as well export to them.

The users can export drawings and models in raster formats like TIFF for technical documentation and JPEG for Web site designs.

The users can access this parametric software for 70 Euros (US$95).

Revit Architecture 2014 - Developing a full house

Development of a full house in Revit Architecture 2014 with the creation of executive walls, setting materials, creating levels in bone and finished placement of doors and windows, placement of liners, applying light fixtures in ceilings, humanization design, creating roof timbers, generation of tables with quantitative doors, setting boards work with the drawings for printing and generating mockup (rendered perspective).

The video lasts about 1 hour and a half, however, does not include all the features of the software. Only the most important that will serve for beginners start working with Revit. Some subjects will be presented in other videos because they are more complex and not very tiring to make this video.

Building Information Modeling Phases

Primary function of BIM Model related with information gathering. Throughout the stage, information will be collected and developed into a BIM Model that contains conceptual and schematic level information about the project. To give the visual understanding of the intended design, a conceptual model with key elements in the BIM model will have been produced.

The second phase of the BIM model represents analysis stage. This stage will focus on “The Right Fit” for the client. The client’s requirements will be fully acquired during this stage, with all analytical analysis including within the BIM model. The team populates the BIM model with all the proper systems, equipment, information, and requirements for the facility then. Constructability will be a key concern on this stage, with conflict checks being run by the entire team. User group assembling really facilitates to define this essential stage of the process.

The third phase involves implementation of BIM construction documents to structure of the facility. The construction documentation process should be fluid because the team has given emphasis on the constructible BIM model. Since everyone has worked as a team from the beginning of the project, delays and surprises during the construction phase are greatly reduced.

We find the facility management aspect of the BIM model in the fourth stage. A BIM model can be more than just a tool for construction. Having an accurate As-Built or As Constructed BIM model can lead to many advantages for the facility maintenance personnel. Part of the BIM deliverable should be to train the maintenance personnel on how to use the BIM model for future facility maintenance issues. Facility maintenance from a BIM model is an arising trend in our industry, as well as, a powerful tool for our clients.
