CGS plus Releases Autopath 2011 for Roadway Design

Suggested retail price 1200 Euro

LJUBLJANA, July 28, 2010 - CGS plus, Autodesk Developers Network member and Autodesk Preferred Industry Partner for Civil 3D announces the immediate release of Autopath 2011, a new AutoCAD Civil 3D based software product for swept path analysis purposes in roadway design. Fully integrated with AutoCAD Civil 3D, it features dynamic plan / profile view analysis and a flexible vehicle library.

 

“We are proud to introduce completely new swept-path analysis software, the first one specifically designed for AutoCAD Civil 3D. For almost 20 years of our company history, swept-path analysis has been an important feature in CGS plus roadway design software portfolio. Our main goal was to develop the very first swept path analysis software on the market that fully supports Civil 3D, its objects and its dynamic behavior. The result is amazing: instead of spending hours of trial and error, you can now play with Civil 3D alignments using grips and Autopath parameters to optimize your junction, cross-road or roundabout design,” says Matjaž Šajn, CGS plus managing director.

 

Autopath 2011 is a part of CGS Civil 3D ROAD Extensions, a product that enhances AutoCAD Civil 3D functionality. Previously known as CGS plus »Turning Curves« software, it is one of the CGS plus bestseller products, proven and used by thousands of roadway designers across Europe and worldwide.

 Autopath 2011, a swept path analysis and driving simulation software can be used to analyze intersections, roundabouts, narrow streets, garage entrances, etc. or to check maneuverability and clearance. It features:

  • Analysis results are dynamically updated if any of the swept-path analysis parameters, reference alignment or profile is changed. Vehicle path can be easily and intuitively controlled by moving the Civil 3D alignment or profile grips;
  • Includes a flexible vehicle library with various vehicle categories. A new vehicle can be added or an existing vehicle can be modified if required. User has the option to construct special vehicles (aircraft, tractor, trucks with oversized load…) including multiple trailer support;
  • Vertical swept path analysis in profile. This feature is useful for checking vertical clearance at garage entrances, steep slopes,
  • Various driving methods: following Civil 3D alignment or polyline with the front or rear vehicle axis, manual steering, reverse driving;
  • Graphical representation of the analysis results with tire paths, vehicle outer edge, swept area, tire angle graph. All reports are dynamically updated when the reference alignment or profile is changed.
