SYCODE launches TerrainCAD for Bricscad

Panaji, India – 17th Feb, 2009 - SYCODE today launched TerrainCAD for Bricscad, a terrain modeling plug-in for Bricscad.

"Bricscad is steadily increasing its footprint in the Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry", explains Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE. "All AEC projects begin with a survey that yields a set of points and/or contours. As a first step it is important to convert these survey points and contours into a three dimensional terrain mesh that accurately describes the topology of the land under study. With our TerrainCAD plug-in Bricscad users will be able to create accurate terrain meshes from survey points and contours and refine it using breaklines.”

TerrainCAD for Bricscad can read a set of points from a text file and create point objects in a Bricscad drawing. It can then triangulate these points using a fast and robust Delaunay Triangulation Algorithm to arrive at a superior terrain mesh. The plug-in even triangulates the area between contours and gives the user the freedom to add breaklines in order to control the topology of the resulting terrain mesh.

Another powerful feature of TerrainCAD for Bricscad is its ability to solidify a terrain mesh by giving it thickness. It also has a command to calculate the mass properties of a mesh such as volume and surface area.

TerrainCAD for Bricscad is designed to work with the Professional as well as Classic version of Bricscad V8 and V9. Priced at $195 the plug-in is available as a fully functional 10 day/run trial. It comes with an installer and detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML help file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user started in the shortest possible time.
