AutoTURN is a 2D and also 3D (AutoTURN Pro 3D) CAD software , an application on AutoCAD , MicroStation , BricsCAD and ZWCAD . It is developed and supported by Transoft Solutions Inc. (Canada) and Transoft Solutions (Europe) BV. In addition to a number of possible uses, AutoTURN analyzes and simulates drag curves for complex vehicle maneuvers.
history
- AutoTURN was developed in 1991 by Milton Carrasco, who completed this practical application as a thesis at the University of Calgary . The first version of AutoTURN ran on Autodesk's AutoCAD version 9.
- AutoTURN 2.0 was released in 1992 and was the first version compatible with Bentley Systems MicroStation Unix . The vehicle library, which was included for the simulation and analysis of towing curves, was limited and only allowed simulations of forward maneuvers. AutoTURN 2.0 was compatible with AutoCAD version 10 and then the Unix version of MicroStation V 3.4.
- AutoTURN 3.0 was released in 1993 , less than 1 year after AutoTURN 2.0. AutoTURN version 3.0 contained many upgrades. This version contained extended vehicle libraries and an addition with aircraft. (This supplement came out in 1995 as standalone software with the name AutoTURN Aircraft). In addition to other improvements, AutoTURN 3.0 allowed the user to play animations of simultaneous simulations of two vehicles moving forward and backward. Simulations were only possible on pre-drawn guidelines.
- In 2000 AutoTURN 4.0 appeared, which could now be used internationally. It was the first version in different languages. In addition to many improvements, AutoTURN 4.0 included expanded international vehicle libraries. A significant change in interface and functionality was necessary to take many new properties into account. The change in the interface included a new toolbar . Tools were also built in that enabled the user to simulate maneuvers without guidelines. AutoTURN 4.0 introduced the concept of the active path and active simulation, which made it possible to use different functions repeatedly without having to select objects again. Like the previous versions, AutoTURN 4.0 also contained an additional function for aircraft.
- 2004 AutoTurn was released 5.0, which among many other features the heuristic - algorithm spline elements and improved layer management introduced for tracking, creating simulations for simulations. The vehicle library file has been changed to a searchable database with international vehicle standards. With the introduction of these functions, AutoTURN 5.1 included the ability to set the ratio of front to rear axle steering. Version 5.1 also included the option of running simulations continuously.
- In 2008 AutoTURN 6.0 was released, which contained additional simulation functions. It built on the function introduced in 5.1 for playing simulations and included the option of creating video recordings. Functions for reproducing realistic vehicle top views and rounding vehicle corners have been integrated into this version.
