Yesterday morning, Jon Hirschtik honored LEDAS by his recent initiative to give our experts a broad 2-hour demo and discussion of the Onshape system whose beta is expected to be released in a couple of weeks.  Just after the release we will present our impressions at isicad.ru and isicad.net but so far we are under NDA. However, NDA does not prevent me from saying that Onshape

LEDAS Geometry Comparison (LGC) makes it easy to compare 3D models and clearly pinpoint all of the differences between them, which are shown as groups of modified faces. LGC maps topological elements of two 3D models and restores their associativity, allowing attributes, parameters, and constraints to be translated from one model to another. Built-in adjustment technology makes it possible for

In my previous post I presented Ivan Rykov, LEDAS CTO, a participant of upcoming COFES 2014.    Today, Ivan is already on his way to Arizona with copies of four booklets, each of them describing 7 certain things related to some, but not all, key domains of the company's projects and skills.  Want to know about intelligent DWG, advanced components of CAM, or

Upcoming COFES 2014 as well as recently celebrated 15 years since the company foundation, inspired LEDAS   team to formulate what are the most important achievements that build LEDAS reputation and differentiate the company from other software R&D service providers. Seven topics have been identified and described: three related to in-house technologies, three – to big

This step of ASCON is not a bombshell. See, for example, how the company CEO Maxim Bogdanov presented the key directions of ASCON’s immediate developments last May: However, the news that came out on this Friday about ASCON, BIM, C3D kernel, and Alexander Bausk altogether was a kind of a sensation for the Russian CAD market.  After his excellent simultaneous translation at

I am not a great fan of computer/smartphone games however I found it very impressive to see ASCON’s iOS Machinator at AppleStore. For me, it was additionally interesting because couple weeks ago I published (in Russian) an article  about the company’s several new projects – at that time being somewhat secret. Now, one of those projects (previously called CORVETTE) has been unveiled

You probably know already about RGK - the Russian Geometric Kernel: there are quite a lot of publications, here is one of them.   Recently, the team announced availability of a mobile RGK version basically intended for demo purposes.  The outline of htis Android OS based project has just been published as an article at isicad.net; here is one of its pictures with a caption "Even

A few days ago, LEDAS issued a press-release which announced that in the last financial year the company attracted ever more software development from global CAM market. It looks like the interest of the CAM market in LEDAS is not accidental: at least this can be somehow confirmed by a quote of Alexey Ershov, CEO LEDAS: Unlike the CAD market in which a few dominant vendors earn billions of

The Russian web portal isicad.ru yesterday  released its monthly N109 with a cover page associated with the beginning of the next academic year and with one of the key news of August. The editorial board decided that the key news was the intention of Evan Yares (as announced for example by Ralph Grabowski) to help Russian CAD company Nanosoft to launch its

I regret to inform you of the death of Vladimir Malukh (1966 - 2013), one of the most recognized experts in engineering software of the Russian market, the author of the unique monograph "Introduction to CAD", and of about 200 papers at isicad.ru and isicad.net, and many other publications.  Vladimir was one of the key members of the LEDAS and isicad teams.  See Vladimir’s

You may have already heard about RGK - the project financed by the Russian government - aimed at building a geometric 3D-kernel. Until yesterday, all publications on RGK were in a meta-style, like for example a press-release  "RGK Russian Geometric Kernel Celebrates First Full-Featured Version" or my paper "Geometric Kernels and Irremovability of Presidents from Office".

My isicad.ru editorial of April (in Russian) was mainly about forthcoming COFES Russia 2013 in Petergof near St.Petersburg. The paper was illustrated by a cover page of our isicad.ru issue No.105 whose headline says “Let’s Fly to St.Petersburg: (Here you can see an animated version of this picture - a small video clip presenting a way from COFES 2013 Arizona to COFES Russia Petergof.)&

Just released isicad.ru No.104 of March, 2013 has a cover page presenting Mr.G.Depardieu and Mr. B.Charles who both seem to have  some troubles with a recent tax policy in France. The headline below says: “Asterix and Obelix are Against”.  As for Mr. Charles, it is about his recent interview to Le Monde also retold and commented at isicad.ru. My editorial of March is

The number of COFES participants from Russia and CIS is constantly increasing. Vladimir Malukh from LEDAS-isicad was the first Russian expert who in 2009 visited COFES when the event was hardly known in Russia and the CIS; see Vladimir's isicad paper "COFES – Wish you were here".   Awareness of COFES drastically increased in Russia and the CIS when in fall 2010 Cyon Research together

I'm sure most of you know what is COFES - Congress On the Future of Engineering Software. May be some of you have participated in this unique event, which since 2000 has been  organized in Arizona by Cyon Research. Probably regional COFES events are less known; they are held in the regions that either can provide new valuable experience to the global community or can

I have just published at isicad.net an overview of the Russian market based on the vendor's events held in October. The first paragraph of the report says:  The cover of the 99th issue (October, 2012) of isicad.ru reflects several events related to the Russian market of engineering software (see all the covers). Some of them mainly belong to the genre of marketing. However, smart

Before Zuckerberg's visit of today, there was a scandalous Russian article accusing Mark for coming to organize an intensive Russian brain drain into Facebook. Interestingly, this article was written by a head of the largest Russian outsourcing company. However, according to the latest news (in Russian) Mr Zuckerberg had a lunch in McDonald and then a nice meeting with the Russian

Even from a technical perspective, implementation of the direct modeling module for a mass Russian MCAD KOMPAS-3D is a non-routine event. If you are a skeptic not responsible for the success of your business, you may doubt the benefits and prospects of direct modeling as much as you like.
