Title: Vehicle Turning Radii Lisp
Post by: SPDCad on June 22, 2006, 11:55:07 AM
Does anyone have a vehicle turning radii lisp for Cad? Preferably one with 18 Wheelers.

This maybe something I will have to write in the very near furture.

Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks

This site has some lisp code and the theory for generating turning circles-

SPD,

I use AutoTurn (http://www.transoftsolutions.com/transoft/products/at/product_overview.asp), that's how the drawings CAB found came to be. If you would like I can create a truck turn template for you in the AM. Just send me the specs for the truck, length, width, length of tractor, length of trailer, etc. (see pic).

I wrote a LISP which will show the motion of a truck (and the trailors) following a given 2d-Polyine or Spline, i.e. for the TRAKTRIX-problem.
In case of interest contact me via scj.schulz@online.de

Jochen
