TurboCAD
A Brief Overview of TurboCAD
There are various design programs out there to aid developers in many industries. None have been so useful to those in the engineering, and architectural firms as TurboCAD. This piece of software has been use to aid designers from all over the industrial, and commercial spectrums for over 20 years. TurboCAD is a generic CAD application with advanced features for architectural as well as mechanical design. It is also a perfect option for hobbyists and it can be used to develop just about anything.TurboCAD is to gives builders and designers a virtual space to implement their designs in 2D or 3D and watch what happens. The parametric nature of TurboCAD's tools allow designers to quickly and easily create a number of "what if" scenarios. Since the dawn of time the only way that builders have had to see if their design works or not is to build the structure, and see if it holds. When building codes were implemented it gave engineers a point to design around but still no way to test it. By testing different permutations in the CAD application is a tremendous cost saver.
TurboCAD allows engineers, designers, and builders to build their structure, or fabricate their part and then put it through a variety of virtual tests. 2D geometric and dimensional constraints can be used as a profile for a 3D design. It is easy to apply changes to variables and see the impact on the design. TurboCAD's solid modeling engine also contains a number of engineering properties that allows engineers to easily calculate the suitability and strength of an object, or part family, for a specific application.
TurboCAD includes a photo realistic rendering engine with a large number of built-in materials, environments and lights. You could even import a background image and render the design "in place" to show the end result to prospective clients. The simulation allows you to make educated decisions on what type of materials would be most suitable for a specific design in a given environment.
TurboCAD has many features to enhance the 2D detailing workflow of CAD technicians.
- it supports numerous CAD formats, including DWG, DXF, SKP, IGES and step to name a few. TurboCAD's legendary inter operability with applications like AutoCAD, SolidWorks and SkethUp is matched by few.
- it includes advanced detailing functions that will create automatic complex associative sections of surface and solid models, saving detailers hours of work. The input files can even be XREFs that guarantees the integrity of the original design.
- it includes advanced paper spaces with automatic scaling of dimension values to allow for the scales of viewports.
TurboCAD's intelligent inference functions and extensive symbol library allows easy creation of schematics for electrical systems, plumbing, cable areas, and maintenance closets Anything that you can think of that you may need to plan into your design this program can do.
So if you're an engineer getting paid to build the world's next skyscraper, or just do this sort of thing as a hobby TurboCAD can help you. Everything from laying pipes and wiring, to planning bedrooms and entertainment areas is at your fingertips. Complex rendering and testing methods ensure your design will be able to withstand the forces of general and heavy use. It does pay to have some idea of how your creation will do before construction begins.
