also run with any version of AutoCAD LT using
the stand-alone version that is also supplied.
- Stand-alone
version: AutoTrack is also supplied as a stand-alone
product that requires neither AutoCAD nor MicroStation.
- Advanced
driving algorithms: The path generation algorithm
includes a time element that allows it to generate accurate
swept paths at selected speeds.
- Dynamic
manoeuvre checking: Built-in checks prevent the
user from inadvertantly exceeding the vehicle limitations.
- Extensive
vehicle library: AutoTrack comes complete with over
120 aircraft and ground support vehicles as well as all the
design vehicles supplied with the highway design edition.
- Two
vehicle editors: Built in vehicle creation and editing
facilities allow similar vehicles to be copied and then edited
but also prevents the user from editing base library vehicles.
- Scale
vehicle diagram: An enhanced
true scale, dimensioned vehicle diagram is presented for all
vehicles including user-defined vehicles. The diagram can be
inserted in the drawing.
- Support
for complex vehicles: AutoTrack is able to model
all forms of aircraft undercarriage including those that
incorporate self steered or linked elements such as the Boeing
747. All vehicle outlines can be imported in
a single operation, e.g. all jet exhaust contours.
- AutoDrive:
a revolutionary new way to drive vehicles that makes driving
vehicles as easy as drawing a line – just point
and click.
- Verical
Clearance mode: Unique Vertical Clearance drive
mode for checking headroom and ground clearance.
- Follow:
allow aicraft and other vehicles to follow a predefined path.
Any point on the vehicle can be used as the tracking point nosewheel or pilot's
eye.
- Script:
a powerful manoeuvre scripting language.
- Manual
Drive: a unique fully interactive driving mode.
- Dynamic
Editing: unique interactive tool to edit the alignment
of swept paths by dragging. Again, checks are performed to
prevent impossible paths.
- Dynamic
Reporting: means that reports appear automatically
as soon as you finish your path. Once generated, you can
change the presentation format for any report without having
to first delete old reports. Reports available
for jet exhaust velocity and temperature for most aircraft. All
outlines can be reported and enveloped independently so,
for example, you could envelope the path of an aircraft
engine.
- Customisable:
All settings, including report content, colours and line styles
can be edited and saved as defaults saving time on future projects.
- Portable:
Data import / export to move AutoTrack data between host CAD
system.
- Licences:
Single user or network licences available.
