Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro.

Turn simulations are generated by taking into account any user drawn CAD elements on the specified Obstacles layer/level that interact with the vehicle body and body clearance envelopes of turn simulations (see Properties -> Conflict Analysis Category). The portions of those elements that conflict with the vehicle body and body clearance envelopes of turn simulations are highlighted to indicate that a conflict was detected. In addition, a note is added at the first and last vehicle position in the turn simulation to draw attention to a conflict somewhere within the turn simulation.

In 2D simulations, the conflict analysis is carried out on lines, arcs, polylines, complex chains, and blocks. In 3D simulations, the conflict analysis is carried out on 3D faces, 3D points, 3D lines, polyface meshes, polygon meshes, and blocks in AutoCAD, and on 3D points, 3D lines, meshes, and SmartSolids for MicroStation.

The conflict analysis is performed while generating or placing turn simulations (i.e. SmartPath Tools, Place Adaptive Simulation, Place 3D Simulation, Regenerate Simulation). It is not performed when visualizing 2D simulations (i.e. Run Animation and Place Vehicle). However, it is performed when visualizing 3D simulations with a 3D vehicle.

Note:

• There is a maximum of 20,000 objects allowed in the drawing for conflict detection.
• In AutoCAD, block references must be located on the Obstacles layer.
• IntelliPath evaluates obstacle conflicts against tire track envelopes. Also, the obstacles are determined by selection rather than by being drawn on the Obstacles layer/level (see Tools -> IntelliPath).
