One of the important components of
CAD is the geometric constraint solver. Since the early 1990s, the field was monopolized by a British company, D-Cubed, now a division of Siemens Digital Industries Software (formerly Siemens PLM Software). In 2001, LEDAS began to develop geometric constraint solvers for 2D and 3D geometry, called LGS 2D and LGS 3D. They were successfully
brought to the global market, and licensed by dozens of CAD companies in USA, Europe, Japan, Korea, China, and Russia.
While working on LGS, the programmers at LEDAS developed similar software for Dassault Systèmes, which were integrated into CATIA and so are used by hundreds of thousands engineers in corporations like Toyota, Honda, Airbus, and Boeing. Much later, LEDAS was asked to develop constraint solvers that ...
