Free tool for AutoCAD and BricsCAD
Including Vehicle Turning Simulation (Swept
path analysis)
CadTools
(ToolBox) is a
software developed for Civil Engineers using CAD. There are a
number of great software on the market supporting the design process
of roads, rails etc. The final design of the drawing is often left
for the user without any support other than the CAD’s usual tools
and commands.
CadTools is an out of process software and supports AutoCAD
and BricsCAD.
This
software includes many useful extra commands and helps you with the
final design. In fact, sometimes you don't need any other design
tool than CadTools.

Ongoing Projects
Do you remember Shell's BISAR software?
This project (BITRAR) will result in a
software that resembles BISAR but runs on newer Windows versions.
The development is in .Net environment and the stage is in Beta.
Latest features added to
the package
2024-03-07 is a tool for PCN/PCR Classification.
Other included Tools is "Drill down"
charts (simulates a probe traveling down through the construction). Frost Heave (lift) calculations for Swedish conditions
is developed as a separate installation.

Vehicle turning software simulates
vehicle turning at low speed and determines vehicle tire tracking
and swept paths. Its useful in the design of road intersections,
parking lots and other vehicular facilities.
The main purpose is to supply a simple tool for non critical
conditions of vehicle turnings. Although the resulting swept path
from this free tool is identical to results from other software it's
likely some difference in the behavior.
10 default types of vehicles are supported. Every vehicletype has
its own figuration ruled by a combination of segments, the first
segment is the truck, the second is either a trailer or a tow bar
and so on. You can easily create your own vehicles by copying a
existing vehicle and change parameters. You can use up to 4 segments
including the truck, that would give you a Triple trailer and I
think that would cover most of the common situations.
There are a couple of professional software on the market that do
this kind of calculations much better and faster but they cost tons
of money. This one is for FREE! Hope
you enjoy it!
