LEDAS participated in two international forums organized by Dassault Systemes in Paris: CAA V5 DEVCON-2006 and Education Partner Program Meeting

In the framework of the development of LEDAS Ltd. as a Competence Center in Siberian Region our specialists have participated in two international forums which recently took place in Paris, France. During the first one Education Partners of Dassault Systemes got an exceptional opportunity to enhance their educational courses aimed at Dassault Systemes software. A set of methodic talks and interactive trainings were given. The second one, CAA V5 DEVCON, participated by more than 500 developers from around the world, was dedicated to development and integration of PLM solutions of Dassault Systemes. On this congress new important software products (for example, ENOVIA 3D Live and CATIA Systems) have been announced and the whole road-map of widening of the line of PLM solutions has been provided. The participation in these forums enforces the long-terms strategic cooperation of LEDAS Ltd. and Dassault Systemes in the areas of software development and educational services.

CAPVIDIA and LEDAS to cooperate in the market of science - intensive technologies and software development

CAPVIDIA, a Belgium-based product, service and technology provider in the area of CAD/CAM applications, CAE, simulation and multi-parameter optimization, and LEDAS Ltd. announce their plans to integrate and multiply their potentials in building, development and distribution of science-intensive technologies and software as well as in joint fulfillment of external contracts. This initiative has become possible due the growing interest of western companies in the Russian market and the interest of software and technology development companies in the area of specific technological niches such as core algorithms and their implementation in complex end-user software applications and firmware. The essential factor which brought the companies together is their closeness in the fields of competence and approach to the market. This enables strengthening of market positions by consolidating efforts in constraint programming, resource planning, data translation, simulation and computer vision. The broader market opportunities and partner networks of both companies will be used as a joint ground for further market expansion.

LEDAS Ltd. becomes official sponsor of Sixth International Andrei Ershov Memorial Conference PERSPECTIVES OF SYSTEM INFORMATICS

Alexander Marchuk, the Chair of the Sixth International Andrei Ershov Memorial Conference "PERSPECTIVES OF SYSTEM INFORMATICSThe" today announced that LEDAS Ltd. is the new official sponsor of the conference. The conference will be held in 27-30 June 2006 in Akademgorodok (near Novosibirsk), Russia.

The conference is held to honour the 75th anniversary of academician Andrei Ershov (1931−1988) and his outstanding contributions towards advancing informatics. The first five conferences were held in 1991, 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2003, respectively, and proved to be significant international events.

"Andrei Ershov was essentially the first Soviet world acknowledged IT-specialist; moreover I believe he was the first Soviet real IT-professional, the scientist who founded and formed some important areas of the IT domain," - says David Levin, CEO of LEDAS Ltd. "The leaders of LEDAS had a lucky opportunity to work closely with Andrei Ershov, he influenced them by his outstanding scientific and technological ideas as well as by a human factor."

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for the presentation and in-depth discussion of advanced research directions in computer science. For a developing science, it is important to work out consolidating ideas, concepts and models. Movement in this direction is another aim of the conference. Improvement of the contacts and exchange of ideas between researchers from the East and West are further goals.

New release of the LEDAS geometric solver LGS 2D, a software component for variational design in CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM systems

With the release of LGS 2D 1.5 the users of CAD/CAM/CAE applications based on it will have the capability of parameter optimization for geometric modeling that allows construction of the models with most the appropriate characteristics. An optimum for a specified by user goal variable can be found using new LGS 2D functionality. The optimal means minimal, maximal or most close to a predefined constant.

Another part of the new release is the significant improvement in product performance - LGS 2D 1.5 is more than twice as fast as LGS 2D 1.4 on a reference test base of several thousand industrial scenarios obtained from LEDAS customers.

LEDAS reduced the time and cost needed to integrate its variational constraint solver LGS 2D into parametric design applications

LEDAS has developed and released a universal LGS 2D Integration Module and Technology. The provided technology gives development teams the easiest way to implement parametric functionality in their systems, integrating LGS 2D with the modeling engine and application. The LGS 2D Integration Module contains the code common to all integrations and does not depend on the geometric engine, be it ACIS, Parasolid, Granite or a proprietary one. The library includes modeling of complex objects and the means for the management of objects from models as well as the means to transfer results back to the application. The code required to integrate LGS 2D into an application for parametric sketching is now about ten times shorter.
