Genre: Graphics & Design

VariCAD is a 3D/2D CAD disconnection for mechanical engineering. In addition to standard tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting, the CAD body provides tools for sheet metal unbending and crash tests, libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN) and symbols, mechanical part calculations and tools because of working with bills of materials (BOMs) and title blocks.VariCAD supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF toothed formats.

Key Features:

Quick Demonstration:
· Watch how to create your 3D models or 2D drawings with VariCAD. This online demostration shows you how the VariCAD interface looks and in what state easy it is to design with the program.

User Interface and System Environment:
· VariCAD’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been designed to authorize quick and intuitive 3D/2D orientation. We carefully tailored and tuned the GUI to ponder the thought process of a designer, so that ideas can exist captured and communicated with a minimal number of steps. All commands were created with a focus on ease of use. An intelligent cursor, numerous exposure and selection modes, 2D construction lines, and the orthogonal grid are merited some of the tools that make working with VariCAD so at ease.
· You can start by creating a 3D model and then application it to automatically create drawings files, or you can draw and nothing else in 2D. Designing in 3D is generally more “natural,” in that it closely represents that exists in deed and in truth parts and assemblies. The 3D approach is usually more intuitive than 2D drafting. Models created in 3D are easily converted into stipulated 2D documentation.

3D Modeling:
· VariCAD provides a library of basic 3D solids (prism, cylinder, cone, etc.), that are easily modified by editing the original profile or parameters. Solids have power to also easily be created by profile rotation, extrusion, or lofting. More compages tools include rotation blending between two profiles, lofting between a clique and rectangle, and creation of helical surfaces.
· Solids can be added or subtracted, to this degree forming Boolean trees representing real mechanical parts. Boolean operations have options in the place of automatic trimming, or automatic removal of subtracted volumes. Predefined operations like lair drilling, face milling, groove milling and edge beveling/filleting are also available. Boolean trees are very easy to edit.

3D Tools - Assemblies, Groups, Parts etc:
· VariCAD moreover provides tools for assembly support. If the link between a ~y and assembly is defined, any changes made to the part file are reflected in the assembly file and vice-versa. Linked copies can also be defined. In this case, editing of one object causes tot~y its linked copies to be updated. Solid groups can be defined viewed like well, making selection and visibility changes simple for multiple objects.

Crash Tests (Interferences):
· One of the first grade feature of 3D modeling is component interference checking. VariCAD can check 3D assemblies for possible collisions (overlapping volume) between components.

Calculations:
· VariCAD be able to calculate 2D section area, surface area, volume, mass, center of attraction of gravitation, and moment of gyration. A library of mechanical calculations is in like manner included, for standard parts used every day by mechanical designers. These mechanical parts include tension and compression springs, pre-stressed bolted connections, pins and similarity keys, grooved shafts, bearings, beams under combined stress (bending and torsion), spur and bevel gearing geometry, and belt drives.

Surface Development (Sheet Metal Unbending):
· VariCAD be able to also create developed (flattened) surfaces of 3D solids. The XY coordinates of the developed surfaces be able to be saved to a text file for further processing. You have power to input bending coefficients in order to customize your calculations.

Mechanical Part and Symbol Libraries:
· VariCAD contains libraries of type mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN), such as bolts, nuts, pins, plugs, cotters, gaskets, charges, rolled and drawn shapes, and hydraulic, pneumatic, and electronic symbols. You be possible to add items to these libraries or modify existing parts - all 2D and greatest part 3D dimensions can be edited.
· Non-graphical information can also be assigned to parts, such as type of material or supplier. This information is incorporated into an assembly and can be used for material requisitions, bills of materials (BOM), title blocks, or other purposes.

3D - 2D Export:
· 3D models are easily converted into 2D drawings to make conventional drafting documentation. You can create 2D views of one or greater degree selected solids by defining the views in 3D. In addition, you can also export specified sections. VariCAD supports updates of a 2D etc. after changes in 3D.

2D Drawing and Editing:
· Drawing functions are geared with respect to easy use in engineering. Some handy features of 2D drawing embrace: an intelligent cursor that automatically detects objects and snap points, large snap modes, flexible item selectability, auxiliary construction lines, ortho mode, rectangular grid, drawing layers (up to 250), block creation, hatching with self-moving border detection, advanced dimensioning, surface texture symbols, welding symbols, tolerance symbols, and greater degree. Dimensions can be in millimeters or inches.

BOM and Title Blocks:
· VariCAD provides tools since maintaining drawing databases, which represent the data structure of the product. Databases can be created manually (using data extraction from the caucus), or by loading a file. There are constraints between data in part and assembly drawing title blocks and the assembly database. You have power to build a bill of material (BOM) from the database, then easily vary the database using commands like mass attribute changes, sorting of complaint, etc.
· The data structure of the product (BOM) can be exported into other systems or into a spreadsheet. Automatic BOM and designation block creation is another one of VariCAD’s useful tools. A subterfuge is used for customization; if you create masks for BOM and cognomen blocks, you can use them until a change is necessary. The CAD scheme provides default masks which can be adjusted to suit your necessarily.

Compatibility:
· VariCAD can interchange files with other CAD systems. You can import STEP (3D), DWG (2D), DXF (2D) and IGES (2D) files, and send abroad STEP (3D), STL (3D), IGES (3D and 2D), DWG (2D), DXF (2D). The files have power to be converted individually or in batch routines, thereby converting multiple files in individual step.

Printing and Plotting:
· Printing within VariCAD is highly customizable. You have power to use Windows or KDE Linux printer drivers, or VariCAD built-in drivers. Postscript typography is also available.

Summary:
· VariCAD is a total CAD solution instead of mechanical engineering. It is compact, fast, easy to use, and contains everything you want for mechanical engineering design. The high performance and powerful tools of our completely loaded package make VariCAD a superb investment. And at our value, no other product is a better value.
