The AutoTURN Pro tools are accessed via the AutoTURN Pro ribbon.
|
Program Settings: Sets various general program settings, display options, vehicle defaults, permissions, and which hints and vehicle libraries will display; provides functions for purchasing and installing AutoTURN Pro vehicle libraries, upgrading a license and moving a program license between computers, as well as patent information and information about how to contact Transoft Solutions Inc. |
|
Properties: Sets the various properties that determine how turn simulations will be drawn. The update function allows an existing turn simulation to be updated to the currently displayed properties. |
|
Vehicles: Sets the current vehicle for use in AutoTURN Pro's tools. |
|
IntelliPath: Automatically generates routes and movements that avoid specific constraints (e.g., buildings, curbs, etc.). |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Generate 3D Arc Path: Generates the simplest and most commonly used type of 3D turn simulation. It generates a 3D arc path that follows an arc from the start position to the position of the mouse on the selected terrain. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Convert 2D to 3D: Converts a selected 2D turn simulation into a 3D turn simulation. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Select Terrain: Sets the current terrain used by AutoTURN Pro’s 3D tools. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Place 3D Simulation: Places a 3D turn simulation using the current vehicle on a selected path that is on a terrain. |
|
Generate Arc Path: Generates the simplest and most commonly used type of 2D turn simulation. It generates a path that follows an arc from the start position to the position of the mouse. |
|
Generate Corner Path: Generates a 2D turn simulation using an entrance tangent, arc, and exit tangent, with input for the turn radius and the amount of turn sweep. |
|
Oversteer Corner Path: Generates an over-steered maneuver similar to the one generated with the Generate Corner Path tool except that the body of the vehicle’s first part and steering tires are parallel at the end of the maneuver. |
|
Place Adaptive Simulation: Places a 2D turn simulation using the current vehicle on the selected path. |
|
Place Vertical Simulation: Places a 2D vertical simulation using the current vehicle on the selected path. |
|
Path Control: Edits 2D turn simulations by adding or moving nodes to make small adjustments to the path. |
|
Place Vehicle: Places representations of the vehicle used in the selected simulation. |
|
Delete Vehicle: Deletes vehicles in simulations that were placed using the Place Vehicle tool. |
|
Continue Simulation: Continues generating the selected turn simulation. |
|
Delete Last Section: Deletes the last section of the selected turn simulation. |
|
Regenerate Simulation: Recreates the selected simulation taking into account the changes to the elements drawn on the specified Obstacles layer/level. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Analyze Punch Through: Draws a cross section of the selected 3D turn simulation at a cutting plane line and creates an annotated section detail. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
Analyze Vehicle Clearance: Creates a graph showing longitudinal profile of a 3D turn simulation and crossing elements. |
|
Analyze Sight Lines: Draws sight lines based on the location of the driver's eye within the vehicle and stopping sight distances, interval distances, and object heights to determine terrain obstructions and the areas in which obstacles cannot be placed. |
|
Run Animation: Runs an animation of the current vehicle on a selected path or runs an animation of the vehicle used in the selected simulation. |
|
Prepare Scene (beta): Opens an application to prepare a drawing scene for the visualization. |
|
Generate Visualization (beta): Generates a visualization of a 3D vehicle simulation. |
|
Note: This functionality is only available in AutoTURN Pro.
View Punch Through: Sets up a sectional view for analyzing conflicts. |
|
Insert Profile: Inserts a dimensioned profile view of the current vehicle or the vehicle used in the selected simulation. |
|
Inspect Simulation: Inspects a simulation and highlights areas (sections) where the Turn Wheels from Stop option was used and the maximum steering angle (SLA) was reached and reports the speed per section. |
|
Generate Report: Generates a graphic and summary report for a 2D turn simulation. |
|
Recall Simulations: Recalls previously stored 2D turn simulations by either placing the turn simulations or running their animations. |
|
Generate Template: Generates a turning template of the current vehicle complete with all relevant vehicle dimensions and turning characteristics. |
|
Generate Grade Template: Generates a grade template for the current vehicle showing the vehicle's maximum upward and downward grade capabilities. |
|
Tutorials: Plays interactive tutorials. Users with the Advanced access level can also record tutorials. |
|
Technical Support: Get answers to Frequently Asked Questions or request technical support. |
|
Help: Provides in-depth information on features as well as step-by-step instructions for specific tasks. |
