AutoTURN - Features and Compatibility
 Powerful Simulation Options | - NEW – Perform 3-part vehicle reverse simulation maneuvers to any vector
- Ability to continue generating new independent paths from one main path
- Ability to generate a straight line section while generating an arc path
- Unlimited number of path sections for vehicle simulations
- Reverse Corner Path allows a reverse sweep angle range of 1° to 160°
- Ability to add in realistic vehicle plan views for simulation creation and animations
- Generate swept path envelopes from user-defined vehicle shapes with chamfered corners or filleted radii
- Real-time, dynamically updated information (radius, steering and articulating angle values) of a selected vehicle turn radius during the designing and editing process
- Define and hatch either the vehicle body or the vehicle’s outer swept path envelope for tracking during a turn simulation
- SmartPath Tools uses four interactive drive modes for performing vehicle forward, reverse, and oversteering turn simulations through mouse movements
- Front and rear steering linkages gives users the ability to simulate realistic turning maneuvers with front and rear steered vehicles
- Create simulations using arcs, polylines, complex chains, or splines (only with Place Vehicle option)
- Run a vehicle simulation that maintains constant clearance from roadway elements
- Create instant corner simulations that account for vehicle oversteer
- Incorporate speed, lateral friction, and superelevation factors into vehicle simulations
- Modify and edit drawn simulations using Path Control
- Create conical lines of sight to evaluate mirror views, blind spots or headlight paths
- Add and analyze vehicle loads and clearances

- Create, modify, and add user-defined vehicles or vehicle types
- Ability to specify the articulation angle per part for multi-part vehicles
- Choose track width for axle groups independently within a given part (front and back)
- Generate complex vehicle types by choosing number of parts, axles, wheels, and combination of front and rear steering
- Define rear or dual-steerable capabilities
|
| Presentation Selections | - Manage vehicle animations for use with Transoft Solutions’ presentation software, InVision, to create multiple sequencing of vehicle movements that can be saved to AVI videos for client presentations and proposals
- Vehicle simulation animations can be looped repeatedly for dynamic and impacting presentations
- Generate hatched areas defined by the vehicle body envelopes or vehicle body clearance envelopes for improved visual analysis and presentations
- Save and recall up to 100 simulations per drawing file
- Insert vehicle profiles including dimensions within the drawing file
- Full motion, drag & drop, and stop frame animation options
|
| Reporting Features | - NEW – View override/path angle information for independently rear steering vehicles
- View graph report of a multi-part vehicle’s articulation angles when generating or placing a simulation.
- View vehicle steering angle graphs and simulation summary data such as speed, path length, and vehicle type
- Reports are customizable - affect display color, line types, and formatting
- Summary reports include orientation and simulation type (arc, corner)
|
| Enhanced User Capabilities | - NEW – Control the display of installed vehicle libraries to show only selected libraries
- Simplified sharing capability (of vehicle types, vehicle profiles, and realistic vehicles) between users
- Place simulations on a specified layer within the drawing file
- Real-time turning radius display options
- Easy to navigate graphic-driven user interface, dialogue boxes, and menus
- Generate standard or custom turning templates for 0 - 180-degree vehicle sweep turn angle
- Use comprehensive editing functions: continue / delete path options, editing on the fly
- Access interactive tutorials or create customized tutorials
- Context sensitive help files available
|
| License Server | - Checkout AutoTURN network seats to laptops for field work or client presentations
- Communication through TCP/IP to network service eliminates need to have user write access to license server directory
- Administration tool allows products to be added / authorized to the license server outside of the AutoTURN application
|
| Vehicle Security | - Manage permissions with ease. Administrators are able to apply different vehicle security permissions: each permission level has specific vehicle customization limits (i.e. applying load, etc) Create customized sheets and reports
