Bricscad mechanical license#

It offers BricsCAD on either a perpetual license or by subscription, based on customer preference. In BricsCAD V21 Bricsys introduces support for DWG tessellated data, as used in AutoCAD Mechanical.īricsys also distinguishes itself from Autodesk in its licensing schemes. “We believe in a multi-solution environment,” says Van Den Bergh. Image courtesy of Bricsys.īricsys considers DWG an open collaboration environment, thanks in large part to the work of the Open Design Alliance, which creates DWG-compatible SDKs (software development kits) for its members. Some commands in BricsCAD V21 are specific to the BricsCAD Mechanical edition, an extension of BricsCAD Pro. This year it took the innovations a step further, with a demonstration of features using a brewery with a bottling line to show the interplay of mechanics, kinematics, and structure. Last year Bricsys showed the marriage of BIM and mechanical design. At the same time, Bricsys has always prided itself on having a strong hand in mechanical design. Much of the 4.5 hour presentation covered innovations specific to construction, making a strong case that unrest in the BIM (building information modeling) market works in their favor. And we can use the same licenses overseas.” “Our BricsCAD license can be used for both 2D and 3D. “Our industry is very innovative, and everything is moving toward 3D,” notes Mazda’s Masahiro Abe, also presenting in the keynote. Japan-based Mazda uses BricsCAD in its production engineering division, for factory design and planning. If you are an engineer used to working in 2D, it is easier to use BricsCAD to start working in 3D than with any other product, because you follow the pattern.” “Sometimes the 2D path is productive, sometimes it is the 3D path. “BricsCAD covers almost all of the 3D tools we need,” says Hristo Guentchev, managing director of Prototyp, an international engineering consultancy based in Sofia, Bulgaria, presenting as part of the conference keynote. In the words of COO Mark Van Den Bergh: “Ready for production… ready for the future… ready for open collaboration… ready to deliver real ROI.” The choreographed message of the conference was one of readiness. Instead of announcing a release to come in the near future, Bricsys presented BricsCAD V21, now shipping. On October 27 the Ghent, Belgium company presented their online alternative to an annual in-person conference.
