Compass-3d презентация

COMPASS is a product of the Russian company "ASKON".This is a computer-aided design system with the possibility of documentation in accordance with the standards of the ESKD series. The drawing and graphic editor (COMPASS-Graph) is designed to automate design work in various industries. It can be successfully used in mechanical engineering, architecture, construction, drawing up plans and diagrams - wherever it is necessary to develop and produce drawing and text documentation.

This CAD comes in several versions:
Compass-3D,
Compass CHART,
Compass-SPDS,
Compass-3D LTCompass-3D Home
That are designed for three-dimensional design and/or flat drawing.

Compass-3D LT and Compass-3D Home are intended for non-commercial use.COMPASS-GRAPH is used as an integrated 3D COMPASS module with sketches and drawings, or as a separate product that completely solves the problems of two-dimensional design and the release of the necessary documentation.
The graph is able to automatically generate associative views of 3-dimensional models (sections, sections, local sections and views, views with a gap and arrow). All of them are associated with the model: changing the model leads to the transformation of the image in the drawing.
Using the COMPASS system, you can create three-dimensional associative models of parts and individual units that contain original or standardized components.

In the COMPASS CAD, various calculations and analysis of products are performed by the following modules: cablesand harnesses 3D - an addition that allows you to automate the process of 3-dimensional modeling of electrical harnesses and cables, as well as to produce design documentation for these products;
Pipelines is a 3D module designed to automate pipeline development work. This library is used for the design of engineering networks and in the field of mechanical engineering;
Spring is a module that provides calculation (design or verification) of poppet springs, cylindrical helical springs and torsion springs.

The compass program and its features
COMPASS is a 3D multi-window and multi-document system. Windows of all types of COMPASS documents can be opened simultaneously in it - models, drawings, fragments, text and graphic documents and specifications. Each document can be displayed in multiple windows.
Commands are called from the pages of the Main Menu, the context menu, or using the buttons on the Toolbars.When working with any type of document, the Main menu and several toolbars are displayed on the screen: Standard, View, Current Status, Compact.
The composition of menus and panels depends on the type of active document. The commands that control the display of toolbars are located in the View - Toolbar menu.
The Library Manager is designed to manage libraries and use them. The Message Bar displays suggestions for the current action or a description of the selected command.
The type of document created in the COMPASS-3D system depends on the type of information stored in this document. Each type of document corresponds to a file name extension and its own icon.

A part is a model of a product made of a homogeneous material, without the use of assembly operations. The part file has the m3d extension.
Assembly is a model of a product consisting of several parts with a given mutual position. The assembly may also include other assemblies (subassemblies) and standard products. The build file has the a3d extension.
Drawing is the main type of graphic document in COMPASS-3D. The drawing contains a graphic image of the product, the main inscription, a frame, and sometimes additional design elements (a sign of unspecified roughness, technical requirements, etc.). The COMPASS-3D drawing may contain one or more sheets. For each sheet, you can set the format, multiplicity, orientation, etc. features. The COMPASS-3D drawing file can contain not only drawings (in the sense of the ESCD), but also diagrams, posters and other graphic documents. The drawing file has the cdw extension.
Fragment is an auxiliary type of graphic document in COMPASS-3D. The fragment differs from the drawing in the absence of a frame, the main inscription and other design objects of the design document. It is used to store images that do not need to be designed as a separate sheet (sketch drawings, developments, etc.). In addition, the fragments also store the created standard solutions for later use in other documents. The fragment file has the frw extension.

Specification is a document containing information about the composition of the assembly, presented in the form of a table. The specification is framed and the main inscription. It is often multi-page. The specification file has the spw extension.
A text document is a document containing mainly textual information - a text document. The text document is framed and the main inscription. It is often multi-page. Explanatory notes, notices, technical specifications, etc. can be created in a text document. The text document file has the extension kdw.

Familiarization with the system interface
An interface is a shell of a software product that carries out the relationship between the user and the core of the program.
The first line of the interface contains the title of the window, where the name of the software product and the location of the document are indicated. The second element is the Main Menu, which offers the following groups of commands: File, Editor, Select, View, Insert, Tools, Service, Window and Help. Each group is a collection of commands that perform functionally similar actions.
The bottom two lines of the interface are occupied by the Properties Panel and the Message Bar. The composition of the properties panel depends on the operating mode and system settings. Most of the commands in this panel are duplicated in the Main Menu. This is done in order to reduce the execution time of commands.
Below the Main menu is a block of Toolbars. These panels contain buttons for calling the necessary commands. Toolbars can be combined into compact panels, the composition of which the user can control their placement on the screen, as well as create their own toolbars.

In the left vertical part of the interface window there is a compact panel that serves to create drawing and design documentation. It consists of eight separate blocks, each of which contains a set of commands necessary for geometric constructions of the drawing, dimensioning and notation, editing, parameterization, measurement, selection, and associative views.
The properties panel is used to control the process of executing the command, where all the necessary geometric parameters are set. The properties panel can be in a "floating" or pinned state. The panel can only be pinned to the right, left or lower border of the document window.
To fix the panel, "drag" it by the title to the desired border of the window. To return to the "floating" state, perform the reverse action. Depending on the geometric object or process, the Properties Panel may have one or more tabs. These tabs contain various types of controls: input fields, drop-down lists, counters, options and groups of switches. The design of the Properties Panel can be customized if necessary.

The last line of the interface window is occupied by a string of messages. It may reflect the following information: the system's requirement for the data being entered at the moment, information about the area of the screen to which the cursor is brought, information about the current action of the system. The message string allows you to adequately respond to system requests and messages and avoid errors.The document window is a working field of the drawing.
