Tired of wasting hours on drawing functions, strings and templates?
Efficiency to be proved!
Novapoint philosophy is to give the engineer the result of the design work as early in the design phase as possible. To make this possible we have over the last 20 years implemented in detail the local standards and formulas for each country Novapoint are in use. This allows Automated Calculations, presentations and documentation. This combined with a Multi Dynamic User Interface (real time graphic and parametric control of both design and calculations) are some of the unique features that enable engineers to perform more efficient.
Because Novapoint uses in-built and automated routines the user gets complete projects directly without having to set up the traditional templates, or waste hours or days making static strings to limit the project boundaries. Anyway the user can make own setups and templates and parametric combinations of earlier set ups in addition to the already built in local and country standards.
In Road module the user just choose a few standard parameters like Road class, AADT, Design Speed and then link these to the reference line and the whole 3D structure of a road (or railway). The complete details, slopes, superelevation (cant), widening, ditches, embankments, rock slopes, cut and fill etc. will be calculated in just a few seconds. The result is a complete 3D model that can be easily edited, and fine tuned, by adding more details. The model boundaries can easily be defined both by parameters and by supplement and integrated combination of 2D and 3D strings.
Complex geometry as Intersections, Roundabouts, Interchanges and driving vehicle paths could fully or partly automatically and directly be calculated, presented and documented. The user just points on the wished reference points, reference lines or partly elements from survey data imported and the whole intersection with all details is drawn up and calculated in a few seconds, based on the built in standards or user defined parameters. Changes on whole or particular objects could be done using Multi Dynamic functions or Parametric adjustments, or by using in combination of these together with basic CAD functions.
Novapoint even have a lot of built in geometry functions covering all kind of purposes. E.g. the geometric calculation and analyzing function geometry from points that could give the user a suggestion for geometry based on survey data from existing roads and railways. Then in this there is a dynamic user interface for tuning such geometry to fit to dedicated rules and standards and exactly reestablishment to existing geometry. This gives the user control over the quality for reshaping and road- and rails.
