Absolute coordinate system — a coordinate system automatically created in graphic documents and model documents. The absolute coordinate system of a document cannot be edited or deleted. |
||||
|
Active view (layer) - a view (layer) whose objects are available for editing and deleting operations. All objects belonging to the active view (layer) are displayed in the graphic area with the specified style (for example, lines retain their thickness, and points retain their shape), but in the same color set for that view (layer) in the Document Tree. At this moment, several views (layers) of a document can be active.
|
||||
|
Additional BOM sections are located at the end of the BOM, after all its sections. Usually, additional sections are located starting with a new sheet. Groups of additional sections are called blocks of additional sections. For details on section blocks... |

Add-On — application, created to extend standard capabilities of KOMPAS-3D and operating in its environment. A typical example of the Add-On is a library of standard mechanical-engineering elements that substantially boosts designing of assembly drawings. The add-on library can be created in one of the standard coding environments for Windows (Borland C ++, Microsoft Visual C ++, Borland Pascal, etc.) using the functions of a special applications development kit — KOMPAS-MASTER. The library is a dynamic link library (DLL). By default, library files have the DLL or RTW extensions. KOMPAS-3D supports simultaneous work with multiple connected libraries. Modes of running with a library can be different (a window, dialog, a menu). After linking a library to the system, the user selects the required function from its directory and launches its execution. |

Adjacent bends Bends are adjacent if they have a common edge located in a way as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 Bends having relief cuts and displaced relative to one another are not adjacent. Their respective angles cannot be closed (fig. 2).
Fig. 2 The planar sections of a part modified on capping the corner are called the sizes of a corner being capped. |
||||
|
Advanced text style — additional data stored in the text style, which defines the relationship between the number of lines of text — one, two, or three — and its parameters — symbol height and width, and line spacing. |
||||
Angle release Angle release on designing a bend — partial removal of the neighboring bend, or the neighboring bend and its extension, or the neighboring bend, its continuation, and all the bends designed at this continuation. Removal of specified elements is performed the direction of the created bend from the plane, perpendicular to the line of the neighboring bend and running through the intersection point of the mating lines of the cylindrical surfaces of bends. |
||||
|
Assembly — a kind of three-dimensional model intended for representation of products manufactured using assembly operations. It is created and stored in the "Assembly" document with the file extension a3d. |
||||
|
Associative hatching (fill) — hatching (fill) with boundaries that coincide with specific linear objects (or their parts). On change of position of these objects, the border of hatch (solid fill) automatically moves together with them. |
||||
|
Associative report — a report associatively linked to the document from which it was generated. On change of objects or their properties, as well as the structure of the source document, data in all the related reports changes either. An associative report is located in a graphic document. |
||||
|
Associative view — a view of a drawing associatively linked to an existing model (a part or an assembly). On change of the shape and the dimensions of a model, the image in all the views related to it also changes. |
||||
Associativity (associative link) Associativity (associative link) — a unidirectional dependence of location or geometry of one object on the position or geometry of another object. |
||||
|
Attachment point — a special object that allows setting the spatial position of the connected (joined) pipeline elements and the direction of the attached element. The properties of an attachment point are its position in a model, the axis which sets the direction of attachment at this point, and an additional axis. A pipeline element may contain several attachment points. To link two pipeline elements, it is necessary to align their attachment points and axes (or to set angles among the axes). |
||||
|
Attribute — additional non-graphical data related to an object (or multiple objects) in a document. Such information can be represented as a number, a row of text, as well as a table with a fixed or variable number of rows. Types (structure descriptions) of attributes can be stored both directly in the document and in special files (attribute type libraries). These files have the extension lat. Further, values of attributes can be processed by various applications (for example, the Module of designing BOMs, various calculation programs, etc.). In drawings and fragments, you can also search by attribute values (to do this, use the Select by propertiescommand). |
||||
|
Background view (layer) — a view (layer), the objects of which are available only for performing snapping operations to points or elements. These views (layers) cannot be moved, and their contents are unavailable to editing. All the objects of background views (layers) are represented in the graphic region in an identical line style which can be configured. The styles selected for objects on their creation are ignored. A view (layer) is normally made background if its formation is complete, and it is needed only as a "substrate" for placement of other objects. At present, several views (layers) of the document can be background at this moment.
|
||||
|
Base face of bend — a flat face of the sheetmetal part containing the bend line. |
||||
|
Base point of a three-dimensional object is a point used as the starting point for constructing the object's geometry in the model. The position of the base point of an object is determined automatically and depends on the object type and design method. For example, a base point of a component is its absolute coordinate system, a base point of operation based on the sketch is the center of gravity of curves of this sketch. |
||||
|
Bend — a non-flat section of a sheet solid. Bends can be cylindrical, conical, and lined. Cylindrical bends are formed into parts on running the following commands: •Bend, •Incision, •Sheet Solid (based on an open sketch). While running the Shell Ring and Ruled Shell Ring command, both cylindrical and conical bends may be formed, as well as bends based on a ruled surface. More details about shell rings... |
||||
|

||||
|
Bend extension — a part of the sheet element, adjoined to the bend opposite to the edge along which this bend is located. |
||||
|
Bend flat pattern — bend parameter, defining the length of its unfolding. Depending on the selected flat pattern length determination method, such a parameter is the coefficient of neutral layer, either a bend amount, or bend reduction. |
||||
Bend line Bend line — a straight line object that defines the position of a bend in a sheet body. |
||||
Bend offset Bend offset — is a parameter characterizing the shift of the bend in the plane of the base face. Bend offset is done perpendicular to edge along which it is located. |
||||
|
Reduction of the bend — parameter BD in the formula for determining the length of the cylindrical part of the bend: l = 2•a — BD. More details on Determination of the Flat Pattern Length by Specifying Bend Reduction... |
||||
Bend release Bend release — slots in the sheet body, located on the sides of the bend. |
||||
Bend table Bend table — table that contains values of bend allowance parameters, corresponding to different material thicknesses, bend angles, and bend radii. |
||||
|
In KOMPAS-3D, a Bezier curve is understood as a curve consisting of smoothly joined segments, each described by fourth-order polynomials, with each segment constructed through four control points. The extreme ones of these four points are set by the user, and the middle ones are calculated, proceeding from the condition of continuity of a derivative curve, and lie on the derivative vector. The user can edit the position of any reference point. |
||||
|
The BOM Design Module KOMPAS-3D allows you to create BOM documents (standard file extension spw). |
||||
|
BOM description — a set of parameters required for displaying the BOM data in the document on the screen. The BOM description includes a path to the BOM style library and the specific style from it, as well as the setting for the display of mass values (measurement unit and precision). The BOM description is stored in the document. One document can have several descriptions. One of them is the current description. |
||||
|
BOM item — a row or several consecutive BOM rows that are related to the same material object. For base items, there is support for automatic filling of columns, sorting within sections, connecting graphical documents (for example, working drawings of parts), entering additional parameters, and so on. Unlike the base object, for the auxiliary object no service functions are provided, whose running is ensured by the BOM. It is used, for example, for input of any texts (comments) into a row of BOM, or for creation of an empty row in the midpoint of the section. |
||||
|
BOM style — a set of parameters and settings inherent to the BOM, influencing its filling and display. Components of the BOM style are described in section Components of style. |
||||
|
BOM subsection — a group of items within the BOM section. More details on the subsections... |
||||
|
CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life cycle Support) is a concept and ideology of information support for the product life cycle at all its stages, based on the use of a single information space (integrated information environment), which ensures uniform ways of interaction for all participants of this cycle: product customers (including government institutions and agencies), suppliers (manufacturers) of the product, operational and maintenance personnel, implemented in the form of international standards that regulate the rules of the mentioned interaction mainly through electronic data exchange. |
||||
|
Center mark — a graphical object intended for labeling the centerlines of axisymmetric objects: circles, arcs of circles, ellipses, arcs of ellipses, rectangles, and polygons. Line style for the center mark — centerline. |
||||
|
Centerline — a graphical object intended for placing axial lines. A specialty of the centerline is that it does not end at its defining points, and protrudes outside them at a certain distance. |
||||
|
Central coordinate system — a coordinate system whose origin coincides with the center of gravity of model and whose axes are parallel to the axes of the absolute coordinate system. |
||||
Characteristic Point Characteristic Point — an interface element that appears in the graphic area when creating or editing an object, intended for managing its position or geometry. |
||||
Closable angle Closable angle is measured in a projection of part onto a plane perpendicular to the angle sides. A plane like that may be any plane perpendicular to the line of intersection of external or internal faces of the angle sides. |
||||
|
Coefficient of neutral layer (coefficient of the position of a neutral layer) determines the position of the neutral layer by the thickness of a solid being bent. It is used for determination of lengths of the expanded sections (on unfolding of bends). The length of a neutral layer in a bend does not change on its unfolding. On increase of the coefficient, the neutral layer is displaced to the external surface of bend, and the length of the unfolded section increases. On decrease of the coefficient, reverse changes occur. The value of coefficient of the neutral layer depends on the physical characteristics of material, its thickness, and radius of a bend. Details... |
||||
|
Connected set of faces — a collection of faces, each of which has a common edge with at least one other face of this collection, and one edge at the same time belongs to no more than two faces. |
||||
|
Collection — a set of model objects necessary to perform certain constructions. Collections are used for selection of objects during creation of copies of geometrical objects. |
||||
|
Component — an object of a model represented by another model. Parts, assemblies, stock parts, local parts and local stock parts; and in assemblies — standard items and library elements can be components in a model. A component model can be stored in a separate file or in the current model file. The following components are stored in separate files: •parts, •assemblies, •stock parts, •stock products, •models from library. In this case the current model actually contains not components, but references to their files. The following components are stored in the file of the current model: •local parts, •local stock parts. These components have no independent file representation. They are stored directly in the model that contains them. |
||||
Component load modes Modes of component loading — methods of loading a component differing in data volume, placed into the computer memory. The following modes of loading of a component are available: •fully loaded — the component is loaded entirely; it is visible in the Design Tree and in the graphic area, •simplified — component is loaded such that it is visible in the Tree and in the graphic area of the model, but in the graphic area, it is displayed without wireframe lines and with reduced accuracy (i.e., less "smooth"). •bounding box — the component is loaded so that it is visible in the Design Tree and in the graphics area, but only its bounding box is displayed in the graphics area. •empty — the component is not loaded; it is seen only in the Assembly build tree. Use of the simplified, dimensional (size) and empty modes of loading allows to boost processing (rearrangement, drawing after rotation or shift, etc.) the models of large assemblies. For instance, you can enable full loading only of the subassembly with which work is run at the given moment, and the remaining components should be detached — if it is required to see their position in an assembly — to display a size or to load it in a simplified way. |
||||
|
Conditional object — a copy of the mathematical representation of the object (faces, edges, vertices), repeating the position of the component object or mockup component. A conditional object is created on replacement of a component with the detailing if the component object participates in mating or is used in the assembly operation as well as on reverse replacement — a detailing with a component if in the mating or operation a detailing object is used. A conditional object repeats the position of the source object at the moment of creation of mating or running an operation. It is created in an assembly and is stored in it. |
||||
|
Print device configuration — a file with the pdcextension, into which the current printing options (the size and the method of paper feed, page orientation), and data on the print device. The configuration file has a text format, therefore it can be opened and edited with any text editor, for example, Notepad, which is part of Windows. |
||||

||||
|
Control point — a special object of a model that allows setting the spatial position of a pipeline element on its path. The property of a control point is its position in a model. A pipeline element may contain several control points. One of them shall be located at a set point of trajectory. |
||||
|
Copy of geometric objects — a model object containing geometric objects with no history, which are copies of the geometric objects of this or another model. The copy may include objects of the model itself, its components and the detailing geometry contained in it. |
||||
|
Current BOM style — the BOM style included in the current BOM description. Assignment to the BOM description the "current" attribute is performed in the dialog for control of BOM descriptions. |
||||
|
Current view (layer) — a view (layer) into which newly created objects are placed. In the drawing, new objects are located on the current layer of the current view, and in the fragment or model — on the current layer. Only one view of the drawing and only one layer of a view (a fragment, model) can be currentat the given moment. In the current layer, you can perform any operations on entering, editing and deleting objects. Any view (layer) can be made current. At the same time, it automatically becomes visible, and in the graphic document active as well. As long as a view (layer) is current, these parameters cannot be changed (i.e. the current view (layer) can be neither made hidden nor background). Once the current status has been assigned to another view, the state of the view (layer) which was formerly current is restored. For example, at some point of working with the drawing, View 1 was current. View 2 at that time was background and visible. Then View 2 was made current, therefore it became active. At the end of editing View 2, View 1 was again made current. At the same time, View 2 again became background. |
||||
|
Cursor Pitch — the distance that the cursor moves when you press an arrow key once. The user can set any step of the cursor. |
||||
|

From the data processing window, the configured report can be placed into a document, printed out, or saved into a separate file. |
||||
|
Design tree of a model — a structured list ('tree') that reflects the composition, building sequence of the model, states of the model objects, and their associations. |
||||
|
In the drawing-graphic editor of the KOMPAS-3D system, when working with documents (graphic and text), the concept of formatting is used. The sheet detailing includes the title block, as well as the external and internal borders. Detailing of sheet of a text document, apart from the title block and marquees, includes information on text indentations from the internal marquee. Sheet ldetailings of graphic and text documents are stored in special system libraries — files with the lyt extension. The user can edit existing ones and create own layouts. |
||||
Dimension variable Dimension variable — a variable created by the user during the process of creating a dimension in a graphic document or sketch. The value of is the value of the respective dimension. If a dimension for which the variable was created is fixed, this variable can be used to control the value of the dimension. If a dimension is of info purpose, then it is impossible to control its value through a variable. |
||||
|
Dimensional parallelepiped — a conventional parallelepiped, whose faces are parallel to the coordinate planes and run through the most distant points of model objects. The user can select object types, which will be accounted for when building a bounding box. |
||||
Direction of bend Direction of bend — direction of a bend relative to the base face. The direction towards the base face — direct; the opposite direction — reverse. |
||||
|
Document property — the characteristic of a document and the objects included into it. The list of document properties is created in a drawing, a fragment, or a model document. This is a unified list for the document and the objects it comprises, whereas values of the objects' properties can differ. Properties can be set: •in graphic documents — to an entire drawing or fragment, to macro-elements or insertions of views and fragments; •in the model document — to a model in general, to components and solids. In the associative view of a drawing, properties of model based on which the drawing was created can be taken into account.
Document properties are subdivided into system and advanced. System properties — properties which are always present in the document and available for use in it, for example, designation, name, mass, etc. The values of some system properties are determined automatically, and the values of other properties are set by the user. Advanced property — a property inherited from an external property library. Advanced properties are set to the document by the user. Values of additional properties are also specified by the user. |
||||
|
KOMPAS document template — a blank document containing the detailing, settings, objects, layers, etc. Document templates supplied with KOMPAS-3D are stored in the \Templates subfolder of the main KOMPAS-3D folder. It is also possible to create custom document templates. |
||||
|
Document tree — a structured list ('tree') of objects that reflects the sequence of the document's creation and its composition. Displaying of the "+" icon near the object means that it has objects subordinated thereto. To expand their list, click the icon. Context menus of objects on the Tree facilitate access to commands which are most frequently used while working with objects of this type. |
||||
|
Drawing — the primary graphic document of the KOMPAS-3D system. The drawing is stored in at file of special binary format (filename extension — cdw). Each drawing may consist of one or several sheets, views, layers. Detailing elements of a sheet — a marquee and the title block. Detailing elements of a drawing — technical specifications and surface finish designation of unspecified part surfaces (an unspecified surface finish mark). |
||||
|
Drawing Tree — a structured list ("tree") reflecting the drawing views and their structure (macro-elements, view insertions and fragments, for associative views — model objects). |
||||
|
Drawing view — a part of the KOMPAS-3D drawing is a "container" for drawing objects, as well as the objects which are inside this "container". Objects contained in one view can generate both one image (a view, a cut, a section, or a leader element) and several at a time. In in essence, a drawing may consist of the only view which will contain all the required images. However, it is strongly recommended to split all graphic information in the drawing into views, placing each image into a separate view. The main characteristics of a view are the scale and position. The scale can be selected from a standard range or set as a ratio of arbitrary numbers. The position of the view is determined by the coordinates of its base point in the absolute coordinate system and the angle of rotation. In each view, it is possible to create up to 2 147 483 647 layers for convenient placement and processing of image. |

||||
|
Empty row — a BOM sheet row located directly above or below the header of a section. It separates the section header from BOM items. You can't enter text into an empty row. This row is included in the BOM due to the requirements of the standard. |
||||
|
Entry — text in the BOM column, consisting of several fields. |
||||
External variable of a fragment External variable of a fragment — a variable in a parametric fragment, the value of which can be changed when this fragment is inserted into another fragment or drawing (as a solid or an external reference). The main purpose of external variables — control of parameters of the parametrical fragment inserted into another document without editing this fragment "outwards". A sign of an external variable is the If an external variable of a fragment also has the "Info" status, then on insertion of a fragment into another document, it is visible, but is unavailable for editing. Generation of variables and assignment of the "external" and "info" statuses to them is performed on creation of a fragment. Only the user defined variable, i.e. a variable of the main section can be external. |
||||
|
External variable of a model — a variable in the model whose value is accessible and can be modified in another model that contains it as a component. The main purpose of external variables — to control the shape and dimensions of a model during and after its insertion into another model. Generation of variables and assignment of the "external" and "info" statuses to them is performed during creation of a model. Only the user defined variable, i.e. a variable of the main section can be external. A sign of an external variable is the The external information variable is visible, but it is not available for editing in a model containing a component. |
||||
|
Face — a primitive which represents itself a part of the surface limited by the edges, which does not contain other edges inside. A special case of a face — a closed face with no borders (for example, spherical and toroidal). |
||||
|
Face pole — an edge of the face, representing a point. |
||||
|
Designations of stock products (for example, screws, washers, unions, etc.) and materials (for example, channel bars, paper, paronite, etc.) follow the rules set by GOST for these products and materials. According to these standard rules, for each type of objects (washers, channel bars, etc.) in KOMPAS-3D, fill templates have been pre-configured — a kind of "blank forms" with fields for the object properties input. The template also stores Information on by which fields and in what order to sort objects of this type. When entering stock products and materials into the BOM, not all fields of a template can be filled (for example, the screw has no coating). In the graph of Name BOM, a line which is automatically generated from the filled fields of the designation of selected object enacted by the standard is placed. |
||||
Fixed side Fixed side — a portion of the base face the position of which will not change when you create a bend. Just in this part of a base face, the phantom arrow showing the direction of counting the bend angle starts. The position of arrow changes with change of the fixed side. |
||||
|
Flat portion of the Incision — a part of the sheet solid, located between the bends of the notch. |
||||
|
Fragment\u2014KOMPAS-3D document (file extension\u00a0\u2014 frw). It is different from a drawing by a lack of detailing elements. In a fragment there is no marquee, the title block, the unspecified surface finish mark and technical specifications. A fragment just as a drawing view can contain up to 2,147,483,647 layers. A fragment is usually used for storage of images which do not need to be processes as a drawing sheet (rough drawings, developments, etc.). Besides, in fragments it is convenient to save created standard solutions and structures for subsequent use in other documents. We note that KOMPAS-3D provides the ability to reference a fragment file without physically copying it into the document. Furthermore, after editing the fragment, the document containing the insertion will be automatically corrected. |
||||
Gap Gap — distance at which the sides of the closing angle will be positioned relative to each other. A gap is measured in a projection of part onto a plane perpendicular to the sides of the angle. A plane like that may be any plane perpendicular to the line of intersection of external or internal faces of the angle sides. |
||||
|
Geometrical array — an array of operations, on whose creation only faces and edges of objects being copied are replicated. |
||||
|

||||
|
Grid — periodically arranged points (or lines) in the graphical area and serves for the convenience of constructions. The grid is an accessory of the KOMPAS-3D window. The user can enable or disable at any time the display of grid in the window and configure its settings (color, typeface, and spacing). The image of grid is never printed out. |
||||
|
Group — a named set of objects of a graphic document. The same object may be part different groups. |
||||
|
Hidden view (layer) — a view (layer) whose contents are not displayed in the graphical area regardless of whether it is active or background. Therefore, the hidden view (layer) is completely unavailable for any operations.
|
||||
Hierarchy of protected load modes If at the moment of creation of a new protected assembly loading type (or at the moment of password protection of the user type of loading), other protected load mode was then current, then the created (or protected) type of loading becomes subordinated in relation to the current, but it in turn becomes initial relative to the created (or protected). Removal of the subordinate type of assembly loading or its password is accessible only if the current mode of loading is initial. |
||||
Home page Home page — a service element providing the user with the following features: •opening recently closed documents, •creation of a new document, •a tip on effective work tricks, •a link to the help and Internet resources. |
||||
|
IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) — an open format for data exchange among various software products. The format has been developed by buildingSMART (International Alliance for Interoperability, IAI). The format is used to reproduce a model created in one system in another system. The geometry of objects is transferred without the options of editing, properties and attributes. |
||||
|
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) — basic specification for graphic information exchange. This format is designed for information exchange among the CAD systems and other vector applications. It is developed and is maintained by IGES/PDES organization accredited at ANSI. This interchange format is a de-facto standard for CAD systems and is supported practically by all the developers of such software products. The main application area of this format — transfer of information about three-dimensional geometrical models. |
||||
|
Info variable — a variable whose value depends on other variables, dimensions, position of document objects. A characteristic of an informational variable is the icon Info variables can be used in expressions. |
||||
|
Internal BOM item in an assembly — an item which does not get transferred to another assembly when the current assembly is inserted into it as a subassembly. On insertion of components (parts and subassemblies) into an assembly, there occurs an automatic generation of its internal BOM items which belong to the components. The user can complement the set of internal BOM items by creating new objects not related to external files, as well as edit the internal objects which are automatically created by the system. Internal BOM items from assembly are transferred into a drawing (during creation of associative views of this assembly) and into the BOM (on attaching an assembly document to it). |
||||
Lattice transparency Lattice transparency — a method of displaying a transparent object, in which the area occupied by this object is filled with individual pixels. The color of pixels matches the color of object at zero transparency. Pixels are located on the screen thus forming a regular structure — a grid. "Grid cells", i.e. sections where pixels of a transparent object are absent, are the larger the greater is the value of the "Transparency" parameter this object has. |
||||
|
Layer — a logic group of objects of a document. Layers are used to control visibility of objects; in graphic documents — also to control the option of editing and printing of objects. The maximum number of layers in a document is 2,147,483,647. Each layer may have a unique name to facilitate search. One layer of the document is a current layer on which new objects are automatically placed. Transfer of objects among layers is possible. |
||||
|
Layer filter — a dynamic group of layers whose properties conform to the filtering criteria. Details... |

Layer property group Layer property group — a set of options for several layers. It is intended for simultaneous change of properties of layers according to the individual settings for each layer. For more details on the layer group... |
||||
|
Detailing geometry — part of a model, which is a set of objects that define the basic geometric parameters of a model (for example, mounting points, assembly space areas, the components that constrain it, etc.). Components of detailing geometry can be parts, assemblies, and local parts. |
||||
|
Mode of loading assembly — a combination of modes of loading components of an assembly. In any assembly, available are system modes of loading — Full, Simplified, Dimensional, Empty. In application of any system mode of loading to assembly, all its components get the respective type of loading. If necessary, you may create a custom load type in the assembly — a combination of full, simplified, bounding box, and empty load types for different components; moreover, the custom load type retains information about whether components are locked from editing. The load mode for an assembly may be password-protected. Details... |
||||
|
Local coordinate system — is a coordinate system that is arbitrarily positioned and oriented relative to the absolute coordinate system. |
||||
|
Local fragment — a fragment created and stored within another — main — document.

On change of the cursor position, the phantom is dynamically rearranged, showing a new state of the segment being input. When there are several options of designing an object, in the graphic region several phantoms are displayed at a time. One of them is active. It corresponds to the option which will be fixed on confirmation of object creation. To make another phantom active, click it. By default, the active phantom is displayed in solid black line, and the others — in a black dotted line. Color and style of drawing of phantom images can be changed in a setup dialog. |
