The program for building sweeps of galvanized sheet. To help an engineer, designer, technologist (free programs). Key features and functions

Cone Layout is specialized program to create a flat pattern of a truncated cone. It will be useful for welders, engineers, auto mechanics and everyone who works with metal cutting. For convenience, the program displays a rotating 3D model with dimensions.

A flat projection can be printed on a printer or plotter to be used as a template for cutting shapes from metal plates. Or it is possible to export it to DXF AutoCAD format, for use on machines with numerical program management(CNC). Also, Cone Layout can save in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format or save coordinates in plain text format.

Thanks to the function of minimizing costs, the program optimizes the amount of material used, the seams along which the cutting will occur, and also the smallest piece of material on which the projection can be placed will be used to build the flat pattern.

The program was originally developed for the design of the exhaust pipe of a racing motorcycle. Now it is used for completely different purposes: creating biomechanical manipulators, paper aircraft models, historical reenactors to create copies of medieval helmets, cone stands for an exhibition. jewelry, metal rockets, chopper tailpipes and more.

Key features and functions

  • optimization of material use;
  • support for a large number of units of measurement: meters, inches, feet, yards, radians, degrees, grades, minutes, points;
  • export to AutoCAD DXF, Encapsulated PostScript EPS and TXT;

Autodesk DWF Writer

Autodesk DW Writer is a free software from Autodesk for the secure exchange of 2D and 3D data in DWF format. Allows you to exchange design data with a large territorial distribution of the team, ensures the efficiency of joint work. Among the main features of the program: tools for automatic publication of 2D and 3D files using DWF output tools, the ability to choose the Autodesk DWF Writer module for SolidWorks 2006, CATIA V5 or Pro / ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 to publish all design information from 3D models, the ability to publish from Microsoft applications.

Autodesk DWF Viewer

DWG TrueView - dwg / dxf viewer by Autodesk

If one has created a file, sooner or later the other will want to view or print this file.

It is clear that it is not only inconvenient, but also costly to use the full-fledged application in which this file was made only for printing or viewing. Full-featured apps cost quite a lot of money ...

So, a free dwg and dxf file viewer from Autodesk - DWG TrueView

All he can do is display files of these types, display selected layers, print and publish their contents to dwf format. With such modest functionality, the DWG TrueView distribution weighs as much as 110 MB! Actually, the viewer itself takes only ~ 300 kb. The rest of the volume is occupied by the full core of the autocad for embedded solutions - Object DBX.

In other words, for all its shortcomings, DWG TrueView has one powerful advantage - it interprets dwg and dxf files through the autocad core, which allows you to eliminate discrepancies when editing and viewing the same file.

Free SketchUp Viewer is for viewing and printing models created in SketchUp. Because SketchUp Viewer does not contain tools for editing the model, it is much easier to use for people who are not familiar with SketchUp. Plus, the models viewed in SketchUp Viewer are protected from inadvertent alteration, ensuring that your customers see exactly what you intended to show them.

A program for calculating and plotting bending moments, transverse and longitudinal forces, displacements and reactions of supports in beams, flat and spatial frames. For the solution, the finite element method (FEM) is used. The FEM processor is integrated into AutoCAD using VBA. The AutoCAD environment itself is used as a pre- and post-processor. That is, the drawing of the model and the definition of forces, moments, distributed loads, support elements, as well as the presentation of the calculation results are carried out using AutoCAD tools. To facilitate the insertion of forces and supports into the frame model, a set of buttons (flyMenu) has been developed. The KarkasA program works only in AutoCAD versions 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 32-bit. The program has not yet been adapted for the version of AutoCAD 2009 64-bit.

ACEditor is an external multiline text editor for AutoCAD (as well as all products based on the IntelliCAD core: BricsCAD, ZwCAD, etc.)

The program "AKiR" (Analysis of kinematics and operability) is intended for the synthesis of the kinematic diagram of flat lever mechanisms, both simple and complex mechanical systems. The main features are performance analysis (mobility is equal to one), analysis of connecting rod curves of flat linkage mechanisms, kinematic analysis (movement, speed, acceleration of an arbitrary link), optimization of the mechanism diagram by kinematic parameters.
The TMM program (by S. Ruev) served as a prototype.

Program OtkloneniiaRazmerov is intended to show the permissible deviations of the dimensions of parts in the hole system.

Tolerance fields are not all that is in GOST (e). But all are not needed, as the experience of work in the Design Institute of Heavy Engineering shows. The program is very simple and needs no explanation. Enter the size, press the button of the corresponding tolerance field and read the value of the permissible deviation in the corresponding text box. Deviations correspond to GOST. The program was created in Visual Basic 6.
