        <title>Designers rely on KOMPAS-3D both for work and creativity</title>
        <description><![CDATA[<strong>ASCON Group</strong>, one of the leading developer of CAD/AEC/PLM solutions, is pleased to present successful usage results of <strong>KOMPAS-3D</strong> by <strong>Robson Yuri, Flexonews Editora Ltda</strong>.<br />Many engineers and designers are so much keen on modelling, that they apply their talents  not only at work, but also and at leisure time. Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Robson Yuri is one of them. Having professional skills, high level of creativity and powerful software solution at his disposal. Mr. Yuri is a designer with six years experience. He is working in Flexonews Editora Ltda as production engineer and press technician. The company acts directly in area of labels converting, labeling and packings, as well as design parts and accessories. Flexonews serves engineering sector of the machines manufacturing companies in Brazil. <em>“When we think about a parametric software, we usually imagine complex devices, great constructions, machines with many details, aircrafts and many other products. Of course, it is so, but we must remember, that everything in the universe starts with very small — an atom, cell or fragment. This also occurs in drawing of great and complex structures. In contrast of many people think, parametric software KOMPAS-3D is applicable not only for professional engineering work, but also for design things to be used in our day-by-day life"</em>, — said Mr. Yuri. <a href="http://ascon.net/main/news/items/?news=780">More…</a>]]>

        <title>Deelip Menezes highly appreciated new KOMPAS-3D V11. One of the leading CAD experts reviewed recently released ASCON' solution</title>
        <description><![CDATA[<strong>Deelip Menezes</strong>, one of the most popular CAD-blogger, released a five part series review on professional Mechanical Computer-Aided Design solution from <strong>ASCON, KOMPAS-3D V11</strong>, at his portal <a target="_blank" href="http://deelip.com/">Deelip.com</a>.<br />In first part of his testing Mr. Menezes familiarized himself with the user interface and did some basic part modeling to create a piston. At this stage he mentioned, that functionality and way of design in KOMPAS are similar to other brand-known 3D solid modellers: “The general workflow in KOMPAS-3D is pretty much like any other history based parametric solid modeler. You start with a 2D sketch, extrude it to a 3D solid and then proceed from there on”. Especially was appreciated interactive learning system - KOMPAS-ABC, included in the basic software version. It allows users  of any   level to learn advantages of professional MCAD software and start working in KOMPAS just after 12 easy lessons. “If you do not want to get lost trying to find where things are and how to use them (which is not very different from other similar modelers), you may want to try out the first tutorial aptly titled “Creating First Part“. You can access the tutorials by clicking Help > KOMPAS-3D ABC. This first tutorial will help you get accustomed with the way sketching is done in KOMPAS-3D as well as how features are added. The tutorials appear to be well done. You can click the images of the toolbar buttons in the tutorial and the button will be highlighted in the application window. That helps a lot,” - said Deelip Menezes. <a href="http://ascon.net/main/news/items/?news=769">More…</a>]]>
