thereby converting multiple files in one step.<br />
<br />
Introduction<br />
<br />
VariCAD is 3D/2D CAD system primarily intended for mechanical engineering design. In addition<br />
to powerful tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting and dimensioning, the CAD system provides<br />
libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN), calculations of standard mechanical components,<br />
and tools for working with bills of materials (BOM) and blocks. The comprehensive CAD software enables<br />
designers to quickly create, evaluate, and modify their models. VariCAD's high performance,<br />
powerful features, and simple and quick user interface make VariCAD the best value in the CAD market.<br />
The software is sold as one "fully loaded" package, with all features and functions, for one very<br />
affordable price. VariCAD delivers an excellent performance-to-price ratio, making it one of the<br />
smartest choices on the market today.<br />
<br />
User Interface and System Environment<br />
<br />
VariCAD's Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been designed to allow quick and intuitive 3D/2D orientation.<br />
We carefully tailored and tuned the GUI to reflect the thought process of a designer, so that ideas<br />
can be captured and communicated with a minimal number of steps. All commands were created with a<br />
focus on ease of use. An intelligent cursor, numerous detection and selection modes, 2D construction<br />
lines, and the orthogonal grid are just some of the tools that make working with VariCAD so easy.<br />
<br />
You can start by creating a 3D model and then use it to automatically create drawings files,<br />
or you can draw only in 2D. Designing in 3D is generally more "natural," in that it closely<br />
represents actual parts and assemblies. The 3D approach is usually more intuitive than 2D drafting.<br />
Models created in 3D are easily converted into conventional 2D documentation.<br />
<br />
3D Modeling<br />
<br />
VariCAD provides a library of basic 3D solids (prism, cylinder, cone, etc.), which are easily modified<br />
by editing the original profile or parameters. Solids can also easily be created by profile rotation,<br />
extrusion, or lofting. More complex tools include rotation blending between two profiles, lofting between<br />
a circle and rectangle, and creation of helical surfaces.<br />
Solids can be added or subtracted, thus forming Boolean trees representing real mechanical parts.<br />
Boolean operations have options for automatic trimming, or automatic removal of subtracted volumes.<br />
Predefined operations like hole drilling, face milling, groove milling and edge beveling/filleting<br />
are also available. Boolean trees are very easy to edit.<br />
<br />
3D Tools - Assemblies, Groups, Parts etc.<br />
<br />
VariCAD also provides tools for assembly support. If the link between a part and assembly is defined,<br />
any changes made to the part file are reflected in the assembly file and vice-versa. Linked copies can<br />
also be defined. In this case, editing of one object causes all its linked copies to be updated.<br />
Solid groups can be defined as well, making selection and visibility changes simple for multiple objects.<br />
<br />
Crash Tests (Interferences)<br />
<br />
One excellent feature of 3D modeling is component interference checking. VariCAD can check 3D<br />
assemblies for possible collisions (overlapping volume) between components.<br />
<br />
Calculations<br />
<br />
VariCAD can calculate 2D section area, surface area, volume, mass, center of gravity, and moment<br />
of gyration. A library of mechanical calculations is also included, for standard parts used every<br />
day by mechanical designers. These mechanical parts include tension and compression springs,<br />
pre-stressed bolted connections, pins and parallel keys, grooved shafts, bearings, beams under<br />
combined stress (bending and torsion), spur and bevel gearing geometry, and belt drives.<br />
<br />
Surface Development (Sheet Metal Unbending)<br />
<br />
VariCAD can also create developed (flattened) surfaces of 3D solids. The XY coordinates of the<br />
developed surfaces can be saved to a text file for further processing. You can input bending<br />
coefficients in order to customize your calculations.<br />
<br />
Mechanical Part and Symbol Libraries<br />
<br />
VariCAD contains libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN), such as bolts, nuts, pins,<br />
plugs, cotters, gaskets, bearings, rolled and drawn shapes, and hydraulic, pneumatic, and electronic<br />
symbols. You can add items to these libraries or modify existing parts - all 2D and most 3D<br />
dimensions can be edited.<br />
<br />
Non-graphical information can also be assigned to parts, such as type of material or supplier.<br />
This information is incorporated into an assembly and can be used for material requisitions,<br />
bills of materials (BOM), title blocks, or other purposes.<br />
<br />
3D - 2D Export<br />
<br />
3D models are easily converted into 2D drawings to produce conventional drafting documentation.<br />
You can create 2D views of one or more selected solids by defining the views in 3D. In addition,<br />
you can also export specified sections. VariCAD supports updates of a 2D drawing after changes in 3D.<br />
<br />
2D Drawing and Editing<br />
<br />
Drawing functions are geared toward easy use in engineering. Some handy features of 2D drawing<br />
include: an intelligent cursor that automatically detects objects and snap points, numerous snap<br />
modes, flexible item selectability, auxiliary construction lines, ortho mode, rectangular grid,<br />
drawing layers (up to 250), block creation, hatching with automatic border detection, advanced<br />
dimensioning, surface texture symbols, welding symbols, tolerance symbols, and more. Dimensions<br />
can be in millimeters or inches.<br />
<br />
BOM and Title Blocks<br />
<br />
VariCAD provides tools for maintaining drawing databases, which represent the data structure of<br />
the product. Databases can be created manually (using data extraction from the assembly), or by<br />
loading a file. There are constraints between data in part and assembly drawing title blocks and<br />
the assembly database. You can build a bill of material (BOM) from the database, then easily modify<br />
the database using commands like mass attribute changes, sorting of information, etc.<br />
<br />
The data structure of the product (BOM) can be exported into other systems or into a spreadsheet.<br />
Automatic BOM and title block creation is another one of VariCAD's useful tools. A mask is used for<br />
customization; if you create masks for BOM and title blocks, you can use them until a change is<br />
necessary. The CAD system provides default masks which can be adjusted to suit your needs.<br />
<br />
Compatibility<br />
<br />
VariCAD can interchange files with other CAD systems. You can import STEP (3D), DWG (2D),<br />
DXF (2D) and IGES (2D) files, and export STEP (3D), STL (3D), IGES (3D and 2D), DWG (2D), DXF (2D).<br />
The files can be converted individually or in batch routines, thereby converting multiple files in one step.<br />
<br />
Printing and Plotting<br />
<br />
Printing within VariCAD is highly customizable. You can use Windows or KDE Linux printer drivers,<br />
or VariCAD built-in drivers. Postscript printing is also available.<br />
<br />
Summary<br />
<br />
VariCAD is a total CAD solution for mechanical engineering. It is compact, fast, easy to use, and<br />
contains everything you need for mechanical engineering design. The high performance and powerful<br />
tools of our fully loaded package make VariCAD a superb investment. And at our price, no other product<br />
is a better value.<br />
