KOMPAS-3D Home - professional CAD software for home and hobby

If I had told the management a couple of years ago that users of the home version of KOMPAS-3D — lovers of engineering 3D-modeling, were sitting at Habré — they would have laughed at me. But every year the sphere of design and IT grows together more and more, and the interest in 3D printing makes IT people study CAD systems more closely. Perhaps that is why one of the first comments to our articles were questions about KOMPAS-3D Home. This inspired me to write this article, I will try to answer in it the main questions of users. Moreover, KOMPAS-3D v17 Home is finally fully released. Although this year, due to negotiations with retail chains, the edition of the boxed version has been somewhat delayed. The article will try to answer the basic questions of users.

The article turned out to be large-scale, I recommend to watch from a computer or from a mobile device with a stable wifi. For readability, all the details are removed in spoilers. For those who know KOMPAS, it will be convenient to read a short article about new products, and for those who want to study the product better, welcome to spoilers, there is a whole manual on the product and three lessons on three main types of modeling.

CAUTION, TRAFFIC!
Spoilers turned out to be quite extensive, so their structure may seem a bit confusing, if you don’t read everything. For convenience of orientation at the end of the spoiler added information that the spoiler is over. If you see the inscription "End ...", then the spoiler can be closed and continue reading the text outside the spoiler.

History of the project KOMPAS-3D Home


Themselves used for their projects


The product becomes quality when you want to work in it yourself. Even the very first versions of KOMPAS were used both by ASCON employees and users for personal purposes: to arrange furniture, to calculate the number of tiles, the wallpaper footage, to make a project of a country house, etc. Users took for this purpose trimmed LT versions and pirated products. In 2011, we decided to conduct an experiment and released a version without reducing any functionality (with all our libraries and applications) at a price affordable to any user. None of the world's manufacturers of professional three-dimensional CAD systems did this at the time. The product found its user. Like the product and our staff.

Askonovtsy - people are very versatile and in their free time engaged in various hobbies and sports. For example, Dmitry Fedin, an implementation engineer from ASCON-Tula, is keen on airsoft. He made an assault shield in KOMPAS-3D Home.

In addition to airsoft, Dmitry enjoys making mockups. This layout of the BMP-2M "Berezhok" was designed in KOMPAS, then the parts were made on the CNC, and then assembled and painted by hand.


BMP-2M "Berezhok". By Dmitry Fedin (clickable image)

Dmitry's passion for mock-ups allowed him to take part in the charity project of the All-Russian Society of the Blind. Within the framework of the project, it was intended to make a layout of places significant for Tula in order to show them to blind and visually impaired children.
Here is how Dmitry describes the work within the project:

"Previously, blind children could learn about the architecture of Tula only from verbal descriptions:" This wall is high, and this church is beautiful. " The task of the project was that the children could see with their own hands the beauty of Tula land.
It was necessary to create a model of the modern Tula Kremlin with full content: the Assumption and the All Saints Cathedral, the Church of them. Prince Vladimir. We photographed and measured everything that we could reach (including a laser rangefinder): general views of the Kremlin and small details. It turned out about 400-500 pictures of each object. Searched for drawings, common views in the archives and the Internet. Tediously, with frequent visits to the site, I modeled every detail. Then released drawings for flat milling. What could not be done on the CNC router, done on a 3D printer. Mostly it was possible to achieve (in terms of tactile sensations) a very similar texture of bricks, tiles and wood. Customers at the reception stood open-mouthed in surprise: they did not believe that this was possible at all. Perhaps, I am grateful to fate - I had a chance to help special children to see Tula similar to the one that everyone sees. ”

A model of the Tula Kremlin created within the project was installed in the museum of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

The original way to combat piracy


At the time of the appearance of KOMPAS-3D Home, the home CAD market was 100% pirated. The blocking of torrents does not work even now, and then no one thought to block them. We decided to give law-abiding users the opportunity to purchase the product completely legally, and in the first year, many took advantage of this opportunity. Even then, on a fully pirated market and without blocking torrents and other things. Every year the product becomes more popular and gains new users.

The number of sets in the documents depends on the installed applications and the applied configuration. Here only the basic sets are considered, the rest can be easily studied independently and with the help of a certificate.


Set Solid Modeling


First, consider in detail the set of Solid Modeling , because It is with his help that you can complete 90% of the tasks.




All tools are divided into groups called toolbars.

Read more about the panel set Solid Modeling

System toolbar




The System tab contains standard tools for creating a new document, opening a saved document, printing, canceling and repeating an action, and activating a preview.
Systemic;
In this panel, everything is standard for any application. You can separately describe two commands that are used for printing, so that their difference is clear.

Print
Used for quick printing with a minimum of settings.


Preview


It is used to print multiple documents, the location of several documents on the format.


The end of the description of the System panel



Dashboard Sketch


Most of the constructions in KOMPAS-3D begin with the construction of a sketch - a flat contour, which is then given volume by means of formative operations.


The Sketch panel contains the most frequently used tools for flat contouring.
By default, the panel consists of one command line with three lines. The remaining commands are in the “basement”, which can be opened by clicking on the line with the name of the panel. If you are uncomfortable opening the “footer” every time, you can open the context menu and select Show all commands on the panel .




The figure shows a view of the folded and unfolded panel.



Sketch toolbar commands;
In this panel we see the tools:

Autoline

This tool is needed to build a line that is drawn with dots. These points can be attached to other objects or set in any order. You need Autoline, for example, to build a contour of the figure. If you squeeze it in the future, you get a blank of the desired shape.

Circle

This element is a group of commands designed to build circles in different ways.

Rectangle

This element is a group of commands designed to build rectangles and polygons in various ways.

Auto Ax

The command is designed to simplify the creation of various types of centerlines.

Auxiliary straight

A group of teams serves to create various auxiliary lines necessary for approximate constructions, and also helps inexperienced users to build basic geometry, since replaces a ruler or tire on the screen.

To project an object

The team creates in the sketch a projection on the plane of geometry from a three-dimensional model or another sketch, which is parametrically connected with the source of the projection.

After activating any of these commands, the system starts the process of placing the sketch on the plane, and then goes into sketch mode. Sketch mode is a normal drawing on a plane. In sketch mode, a set of sketch tools opens - accordingly, additional commands appear.



The process of placing the sketch on the plane

End description of the Sketch panel.



Toolbar Body elements


The commands of this panel are used to transform a flat contour into a three-dimensional model or “solid body”, as well as to modify the resulting model in various ways.



Commands panel body elements
Extrusion Element

This element is a group of commands designed to build shaping elements. Extrusion is necessary in order to give the specified contour a volume by extruding it in the indicated forward direction. Rotation adds volume by rotating the contour around the axis of symmetry. The element along the path ( earlier this command was called Kinematic operation ) adds volume to the contour along the path specified by the user. The element on sections creates a solid body from several specified flat contours.

Extrude cut

This element is a group of commands designed to cut from the body the same elements that are added to the previous group of commands.

Rounding

This element is a group of commands for building.

Hole simple

This element is a group of commands that allow you to make holes in the workpieces by giving them diameter and depth. Also here is the chamfer.

Boolean operation

This function is needed to subtract or remove the volume of a particular body from another object. It may be necessary, for example, when we need to cut the shape of an asterisk in a rectangle or make holes for bolts.

Thicken

This command adds a layer of material to a face or surface.

Section

This command cuts off part of the body using a sketch, plane or surface.

To scale

This command proportionally changes the size of the body or the whole part.

Stiffener

A stiffener is needed to give strength to any structure, especially in those places where it is impractical to put a full-fledged wall.

Shell

The shell leaves a thin layer of material from the body, deposited on the outer or inner surface left over from the body.

Change position

Creates a new solid, surface or part by changing the position of an existing object.

Add workpiece detail ...

With this function, you can add any part that you previously saved to our project.

Bias

This command tilts the existing face with respect to the other face.

Short modeling lessons


Here are three small construction lessons on the main types of modeling. Lessons do not intersect with the ABC, so it will be a good addition to them.

  17. Run the Avtorazmer command.
  18. Put down the radial size, set the horizontal dimensions from the origin to the beginning and end of the arc. Exit sketch mode.
  19. Clamp the left mouse button on the “Offset plane” command group, in the opened panel select “Plane through a point perpendicular to the edge”.
  20. Specify the arc, then the starting point of the arc - created a plane. Without interrupting the command, we again specify the arc and the end point of the arc - the second plane was created.
  21. Without interrupting the previous command, run the Circle command.

The end of the process of modeling a solid model


Complex case




Surface modeling process
Suppose you have developed a similar concept design of the case. You need to make it a reality.


Using solid modeling, this is difficult to do because the form is complex.
At best, it will be possible to get something like this, or it will take too much effort.


We use to obtain the desired shape surface modeling.

To begin with we will break the initial image into form-building elements.


  1. Create a part.
  2. Create a sketch in the ZY plane. Run the Conic Curve command.
  3. We build an arbitrary conical curve, set the coefficient to 0.5.
  4. Activate the mode of displaying degrees of freedom.
  5. Run the autosize command and set the dimensions as in the picture.
  6. Run the Alignment command, specify the lowest point of the conic curve and the origin, select the horizontal line to align the points horizontally.
  7. We build a vertical auto-axis from the origin of coordinates. In the image, the size is tucked down so as not to interfere with construction.
  8. Run the command Mirror reflection. Specify the conical curve. Click Create.
  9. Specify the centerline. Then run the command line.
  10. We build a segment between the lower points of the conical curves. Exit sketch mode.
  11. Create a new sketch in XZ.
  12. Again, we build a conical curve (coefficient 0.75) and dimension the dimensions and dependencies as in the figure. Exit sketch mode.
  13. Run the "Project Object" command.
  14. Specify the XY plane.
  15. We project into the sketch the lower point of the conical curve constructed earlier. To see the curve, it is best to expand the model using the right mouse button.
  16. Run the command "Spline on points". We specify 5 points so that the average coincides with the projected point. Run the Align command.
  17. We specify in pairs unbound points and set verticality between them. Run the Avtorazmer command.
  18. We put down the dimensions, as in the figure. Exit sketch mode.
  19. Create a new sketch in the ZY plane. Run the command "Spline Poles". We build an arbitrary spline of 7 poles. Run the command autosize.
  20. We put down the dimensions, as in the figure. Exit sketch mode.
  21. The main shaping sketches are built - you can start building surfaces.
  22. Switch to the set of "frame and surface." Launch the Extrusion Surface command.
  23. Open the transparent tree. Select the first sketch and set the distance to 180 mm. Create an operation.
  24. Run the command Surface trajectory.
  25. We specify the third sketch as a section, and the second as a trajectory. Select the method of building the "maintain the angle of inclination." Create an operation.
  26. Run the Extrusion Surface command again. Specify the fourth sketch and a distance of 200 mm. Run the command Trim the surface.
  27. Specify the extrusion surface in the tree. Switch to a segmented object - specify the kinematic surface. If necessary, change the direction so that the part forming the surface we need remains. Create an operation.
  28. Select the kinematic surface and the first sketch as a cutting object. If necessary, change the direction so that the part forming the surface we need remains. Run the command Surface sewing.
  29. We indicate the parts of the kinematic surface and the extrusion surface remaining after truncation. Run the command Equidistant surface.
  30. Specify the stitching of surfaces in the tree. When creating equidistants, edge effects inevitably appear. They need to be cut off. Run the offset plane to create a truncation.
  31. We build the displaced plane at a distance of 2 mm in the direction of the surfaces. Run the command Trim the surface.
  32. Specify the stitching of surfaces and the displaced plane as a clipping object. If necessary, change the direction so that the part forming the surface we need remains. Create an operation.
  33. Specify the equidistant surface and the displaced plane as a clipping object. If necessary, change the direction so that the part forming the surface we need remains. Create an operation.
  34. Specify "Extrusion Surface: 2" and the offset plane as a cutting object. If necessary, change the direction so that the part forming the surface we need remains. Run the Split Surface command.
  35. We specify in the tree the merging of surfaces and in the “Extrusion Surface: 2” model window as a clipping object. Create an operation.
  36. We specify in the tree the equidistant of the surface and in the model window "Surface extrusion: 2" as a clipping object. Run the command Trim the surface.
  37. We indicate in the model window “Extrusion surface: 2” and in the tree the merging of surfaces as a clipping object. If necessary, change direction, to remain the inner part. Create an operation.
  38. We indicate in the model window the remaining part of the extrusion surface and in the tree the surface equidistant as a clipping object. If necessary, change the direction so that there is a part between the stitching and equidistant. Run the command "Delete Faces".
  39. We indicate three inner faces (equidistants) on the top and four outer faces (stitches) on the bottom. Run the patch command.
  40. Specify the surface edges to form a patch outline. Run the command Surface sewing.
  41. We indicate in the tree the surface stitching, the surface equidistant, “Extrusion surface: 2” and the patch. Create an operation.
  42. Switch to the "Solid Modeling" set. Run the Round command. Set the radius of 11 mm, specify the edges, as in the figure. Create an operation.
  43. Set a radius of 6 mm, specify the edges, as in the figure. Create an operation.
  44. Switch to the method with a constant chord. Set a radius of 3 mm, specify two edges, as in the figure, the rest are allocated automatically, because the rounding is extended along the tangent edges. Run the shell command.
  45. Specify a flat face (the team can remove only flat faces). Set the shell thickness of 3 mm (shell thickness can not be more than the smallest radius in the model). Create an operation.
  46. It turned out such a body. It remains to supplement it with fasteners for internal structures and the rear.

Sheet metal housing




Leaf model modeling process
It is not interesting to create a banal box from a sheet - everyone will figure it out anyway, and there are a lot of video lessons. Let's try to build from the sheet an analogue of the body, which was made by surface modeling in the last lesson. Completely repeat it will not work, but at least the basic form.

  1. Create a part
  2. For convenience, we will include the specialization sheet metal. Choose File - Specialization - Sheet Detail.
  3. The basic set has changed to "Sheet modeling".
  4. Run the autoline line command. Create a sketch in the ZX plane. We build the first point just above the origin.
  5. We build the second point at the origin, and the third is slightly to the right of the origin.
  6. Switch to arc. We build an arbitrary arc to the level of the middle of the first segment.
  7. Switch back to the segment. We build a vertical segment to the horizontal level of the beginning point of the construction.
  8. Launch the “Alignment” command. Align horizontally the start and end points of the autoline.
  9. Align horizontally the middle of the first segment and the second point of the arc.
  10. Run the command "Touch" Specify the arc and the last segment.
  11. Run the command "Avtorazmer." We build the dimensions as in the picture. Run the command Sheet body.
  12. We build a sheet body with a thickness of 2 mm, a radius of 4 mm, at a distance of 200 mm. Run the command "Fold".
  13. Specify the top edge of the side face. Switch the width setting type to “Two indents”. Set the left margin to 4 mm. Establish a method for constructing the bend extension “To the object” We specify as an object one of the vertices of the vertical edge. Set the radius of 4 mm. Create a new sketch.
  14. Specify the bend face as the plane to build the sketch.
  15. Run the command "Project an object" and project the external vertical and arcuate bend edges.
  16. We finish the sketch as in the picture. Run the command "Plate".
  17. In the settings you do not need to change anything. Run the command "Closing the corners."
  18. Specify the fold. Set the closure method "Closing with overlapping." Run the command "Fold".
  19. Specify the inner edge of the vertical face of the curved part of the sheet part. Set an angle of 180 degrees, and a radius of 0.001 mm, a length of 10 mm. This bend is needed for stiffness, it also allows you to remove the sharp edge. We press the button "Create".
  20. Specify the inner edge of the opposite vertical edge. Switch the width setting type to “Two indents”. Set the left margin to 3 mm so that there is no intersection with the side fold. The remaining parameters do not change. Run the command "Sketch".
  21. Create a sketch on the side of the bend.
  22. We build a horizontal segment with dimensions as shown. Run the command "Burtik".
  23. Set the height of the collar 2 mm, radius - 2 mm and radius of the base of the collar - 2 mm. The resulting shoulder can be used to connect the case with the lid, it will also give bending stiffness. Run the command "Sketch".
  24. Specify the vertical edge of the curved part.
  25. We build three equal horizontal segments with dimensions as in the figure. Run the "Blinds" command.
  26. Set the height of the blinds 6 mm, width - 16 mm and the radius of the base of the blinds - 2 mm. Blinds are needed if we need air flow into the housing. Run the "Mirror Array" command.
  27. The type of objects in the array is indicated - “Bodies or surfaces”, we specify the sheet body, and the Plane ZX is specified as the plane of symmetry. Create an operation, then exit the command (click the red cross), because we need to switch to the scanning mode.
  28. Run the "Expand" mode.
  29. Specify the horizontal part of the sheet body.
  30. A phantom of a sweep appeared. We press to create.
  31. Run the "Create a drawing by model" command.
  32. Select the orientation of the “Sweep” model, set the scale to 1: 1, activate the “Sweep” option, open the “Lines” section and turn on the display of fold lines. , .
