Extracting Terrain Cross Sections

Extracting Terrain Cross Sections

Occasionally, it’s useful to create graphs illustrating the cross section of a terrain, such as when trying to visualize the crown of a road surface. The easiest way to see the cross section is to use one of the side orthographic views. Note, point cloud cross sections can be obtained using the section tool. Also, angles and displacements can be measured using the 3D Angle Measurement tool. However, if a numerical description is required, a more sophisticated method is illustrated below. This method can be used to create cross sectional views along any arbitrary xy-trajectory…

Creating Bicycle and Motorcycle Crash Simulations with the Path Animation Tool

The Path Animation Tool is a powerful part of the Virtual CRASH 4 arsenal. Not only can this tool be used to create visualizations of accident scenarios without the need for simulation optimization, but it can also be used to guide vehicles along arbitrary paths only to then had control of the vehicle to the simulation engine.
