RailCOMPLETE is a computer-aided design (CAD) software used in designing railway systems at a high level of detail.
The AutoCAD® plug-in allows high-quality 2D and 3D models to be created easily, simplifying wayside infrastructure planning. Complex data is gathered in one place and is ready for cross-disciplinary use at all steps of the planning and construction process.
With RailCOMPLETE® you will build a BIM model for railway equipment along an alignment, a track. The BIM objects include a 2D symbol, a 3D object model, standard values and a rule set governing their behavior.
All BIM objects in a model form a logically connected network, which makes drawing updates easy. Whenever an object has been changed or moved, the whole model, including tables, will be updated with a few clicks.
An intuitive user environment with menus and tools making BIM model construction easy.
A user must only know the most common AutoCAD functions, RailCOMPLETE covers the railway aspects. Nevertheless, all AutoCAD functions are available and modified for the system.
RailCOMPLETE is a powerful database tool for BIM objects. Object properties can be searched, sorted, modified and visualised. Mass updates are easy.
With RailCOMPLETE, all tracks (alignments) may be used as a linear referencing system for objects. All BIM objects along a track have a defined mileage. Change an object’s mileage property, and it moves.
A BIM model relation is established by point-and-clicking on two objects in the model and selecting the desired relation type. Relations may then be used for logical reasoning and for “following the trail” when searching for info from object to object, e.g. when building a table
RailCOMPLETE is a multi-disciplinary and low user threshold tool. Modeling track, catenary, signaling, lowpower and boards are ideal with RailCOMPLETE.
RailCOMPLETE automates the production of tables. Tables are a central part of any engineering planning process. Even if all model data are contained in the BIM mode, people will always need tables for an overview.
RailCOMPLETE is shipped with many predefined tables, but defining your own tables is also easy. Tables for turnouts, signals, interlocking, signs and boards, catenary
masts, earthing and general equipment lists are standard.
After modifying objects in the BIM model, simply select your tables and press ‘refresh’. A table is exported to Excel with just one click.
RailCOMPLETE does silent model checking as you work. Objects have configurable model checks, based on your railway administration’s technical regulations and expert
rule knowledge.
The time to discover design errors is thereby reduced, such as distances between objects from the same or from a different engineering discipline.
RailCOMPLETE is both a 2D and a 3D tool. The BIMobjects delivered with RailCOMPLETE have 2D symbols and object-specific 3D models. Changing the object variant will change the 3D model correspondingly.
