Skewed key stations

I had a situation where I wanted to model Interstate NB and SB as separate and cut them off of the median cl. I was unable to get the tie slopes to tie to existing ground when cutting cross sections. Adding "key stations" at a skew would resolve t...

DU tool to update node name by feature definition

The name of the nodes are defined at placement by the selected Feature Definition. It's common for it to be changed during the design process. For these cases, all altered nodes must be manually renamed. This usually is done through selection or u...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...

Designing Geometry using multiple spiral type

Currently we can set up one spiral type for one DGN. If the geometry needs to be designed using different spiral type, we need the flexibility to allow the application of multiple spiral type in one DGN

Include info about side/hand of turnout from the tip of the turnout (Point 1) looking towards the toe (point 2)

Especially in reports but also in models we need to add information about turnout type including a letter showing towards which side looking from point 1 towards point 2, the branch is oriented. As it is now turnouts with Leading orientation will ...

Develop and Annotate Partial Geometry

In my experience, it's common to tie a proposed vertical alignment into an existing vertical curve. This can be easily done with the geometry tools. However, the annotation is only drawn to where the proposed geometry terminates. While technically...

Fiber Mesh Cross Sectional Analysis

Con sider adding fiber-mesh tools for cross section analysis to RMBRIDGE. This allow the use of different materials in the cross section. This is important in seismic analysis for the definition of the Moment-Curvature properties. This feature is ...

Verify Turnout

Use the Geometry Connector with start and end elements chosen as turnouts. The converged result gives a disconnection between the regression alignment and the turnout. You can only discover it by zooming in to the closest possible view. A "Verify ...
