Fragments
A fragment is a user-definable macro that
either inserts surfaces into the cross-section file
at a station or performs an intermediate part of
the process of inserting surfaces. You can use
fragments to analyze the surfaces in a cross-
section file to produce reports, such as a milling
and pavement overlay report for a contractor.
Each fragment can have user-defined input
parameters that determine their dimensions
and behavior in particular situations.
Fragments respond flexibly, based on existing
conditions and design parameters. They can be
customized to match your organization’s
specific components. Setting the slope criteria
enables fragments to respond to specific
conditions and automatically blend into your
design.
Using fragments, you can
assemble a typical section
model as a series of connected,
standard, predefined roadway
components. This provides an
easy way to design a roadway
by plugging in ready-made
components such as raised or
depressed medians, travel
lanes, shoulders, ditches, catch
slopes, berms, and benches.
This technology saves time and
simplifies roadway design. It
also provides interactive,
component-based modeling for
easy adaptation to changes in
conditions (profile grade, width,
cut and fill, superelevation).
Fragment technology also
enables you to develop design
models interactively. Rather
than repeatedly running a batch
process, analyzing the results,
and tweaking the input, you can
interactively develop a typical
cross-section design at one
station, save it as a template
that can be applied to other
stations, move to different
stations to graphically modify
the results, and then save the
entire job as a design file that
you can rerun as needed.
DTM modeling
and viewing
Powerful and fast DTM algorithms mean your
systems perform well even with large DTMs.
DTM features include the following:
•
Ability to easily handle large data sets such
as USGS DEM (digital elevation models)
•
Ability to drape single or multiple USGS
7.5-minute quad maps onto a DTM surface
model
•
Simplified point and breakline editing
Extremely fast DTM creation,
viewing, and editing help
increase your productivity.
