Bricsys and Simtra have announced that all Pathplanner software from Simtra is now available for Bricscad V10. Until now, the software had been available for MicroStation and AutoCAD only.

Developed by Simtra, Pathplanner A5 performs aircraft tracking and jet blast impact using FAA and ICAO clearance standards for airside layouts. Operational issues such as complex push back procedures can be determined on-the-fly, providing input to airlines and the airports’ operational staff. Included with the software is the Aircraft Data Viewer module, a database of commercial aircraft in-use worldwide.

Pathplanner R4 planning software targets the transportation industry. It simulates vehicle turns and sweep paths through its built-in animation capabilities. The software includes a vehicle library of standard designs from most countries.
