Publisher review:VARKON can be used as a traditional CAD-system with drafting, modelling and visualization. VARKON can be used as a traditional CAD-system with drafting, modelling and visualization if you want to but the real power of VARKON is in parametric modelling and CAD applications development.
VARKON includes interactive parametric modelling in 2D or 3D but also the unique MBS programming language integrated in the graphical environment.
VARKON is written in ANSI portable C and has been compiled and successfully executed on many different platforms.
The UNIX version has a user interface based on X-Windows and the PC version uses Microsoft WIN32. Currently there are VARKON systems running on workstations from HP, SUN, IBM and SiliconGraphics and also systems on VAX's with VMS or Intel PC's with SCO/UNIX, GNU/Linux or Windows95/98/NT.
VARKON is used to develop and run applications. An application is a VARKON system that's been modified and extended with knowledge and functionality specific to a certain product or problem.
VARKON applications can perform any calculations, retrieve data from external databases, make decisions, perform complex geometrical operations, build object oriented structures with attributes and geometry, generate graphic images like 2D drawings or 3D models with shading or hidden lines removed and create any type of datafiles with output of your own choice.
VARKON is ideally suited for all types of variational design. Wooden houses, tools for ballbearings, welded steel parts or electrical installations are some of the products currently designed in VARKON using this technique.
VARKON 1.18A is a C/C++ script for Scientific/Engineering scripts design by Thomas Hellner.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
