A program for creating sweeps of simple bodies. To help an engineer, designer, technologist (free programs)

Cone Layout is a specialized program for constructing a frustum 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 three-dimensional model with dimensions.

The planar 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 AutoCAD DXF format, for use on machine tools with numerical control (CNC). Cone Layout can also save in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format or save coordinates in plain text format.

Thanks to the cost minimization function, the program optimizes the amount of material used, the seams along which cutting will occur, and the smallest piece of material on which the projection can be placed will be used to build the scan.

The program was originally developed to design 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 replicas of medieval helmets, cone racks for jewelry exhibitions, metal rockets, exhaust pipes for choppers and much more.

Key features and functions

Autodesk DWF Writer

Autodesk DW Writer is a free program from Autodesk for the secure exchange of 2D and 3D DWF data. Allows you to exchange design data with a large territorial distribution of the team, ensures the effectiveness of collaboration. 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.

DWG TrueView - dwg/dxf viewer by Autodesk

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

It is clear that using a full-fledged application in which this file was made only for printing or viewing is not only inconvenient, but also expensive. Full-featured apps cost a lot of full-blown money...

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

All he can do is show files of these types, display selected layers, print and publish their contents in dwf format. With such a modest functionality, the DWG TrueView distribution kit weighs as much as 110 MB! Actually, the viewer itself takes only ~ 300 kb. The rest of the volume will be occupied by the full core of 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 eliminates discrepancies when editing and viewing the same file.

*Use of the free versions of the products is subject to the terms of the end user license agreement that is included with the download.

The free SketchUp Viewer is designed to view and print models created in SketchUp. Because SketchUp Viewer does not contain model editing tools, it is much easier to use for people who are not familiar with SketchUp. In addition, models viewed in SketchUp Viewer are protected from inadvertent modification, ensuring your customers see exactly what you intended to show them.

Program for calculating and constructing diagrams of 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 assignment of forces, moments, distributed loads, supporting elements, as well as the presentation of the calculation results, takes place using AutoCAD tools. A set of buttons (flyMenu) has been developed to facilitate the insertion of forces and supports into the wireframe model. KarkasA works only in AutoCAD 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 32-bit versions. For AutoCAD versions 2009 64-bit program has not been adapted yet.

Program OtkloneniaRazmerov is designed to show the allowable deviations in the dimensions of parts in the hole system.

Tolerance fields are not all that is in GOST (e). But all are not needed, as experience shows in the design institute of heavy engineering. 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 tolerance in the corresponding text box. Deviations correspond to GOST. The program was created in Visual Basic 6.
