Parameters of Road Generator in Road Builder for curvature section

jozef.bucha over 2 years ago

Hello,

can someone explain how parameters in Road Generator in Road Builder for curvature section works?

Specifically Start Point, Center Point and Tangent Point.

For example i want create oval road and one part as quater circle. My theory was something like this should works (only in meters)

CNEXT_1L92ZvT64d

Parameters of first segment:

aview_3c9B9Nwa8O

but generated points look like this:

aview_lJvysvWh5E

Thanks in advance

Hi Jozef,

Have a look at: Adams Car Package > Adams Tire > Adams Tire Tools > Using the Road Builder

+ Defining Analytical Road

This shows:

Start point 0,400,0 Center point 0,0,0 Tangent point -500,400,0

I belileve this is related to the start point only so Tangent point 0,0,0 won't work. If you try Tangent point -1,400,0 it does the same as -500,400,0

Hi Alexis,

I was checking this in help file. But i do not get it perfectly

According Help:

Segment 1 is line Starting Point: -3300,400,0, End Point 0,400,0.

Segment 2 is curve Starting Point 0,400. (Same as end of Segment 1), Center Point 0,0,0 (Center of circle arc i believe), Radius 400 (Radius of circle arc), Arc Length 125 (half of circle PI*400 = 1256

but what is Tangent Point (-500,400,0)? The value in help is putting Tangent Point to Line on Segment 1.

Segment 3 is line Starting Point: 0,-400,0, End Point -3300,400,0.

At least i will be able to create oval using segments.

Jozef

to me Tangent Point define at what angle segments 1 and 2 are joined. it makes sense that is tangent hence -500,400,0 is a valid solution.
