Gent, Belgium - Bricsys, the Bricscad company, and Simtra, the leading software company for airside planning and vehicle turn paths, announced today that all Pathplanner software from Simtra is now available for Bricscad V10. Until today, the software had been available for MicroStation® and AutoCAD® only.

Developed by Simtra, Pathplanner A5 is the worldwide leader for fast and accurate airside planning and design. The software performs aircraft tracking and jet blast impact using FAA and ICAO clearance standards, the basis for efficient and safe airside layouts. Operational issues such as complex push back procedures can be determined on-the-fly, providing valuable input to airlines and the airports’ operational staff. Detailed gate designs that previously took days are now performed in under an hour and with significantly reduced risk of human error.

Pathplanner R4 planning software targets the transportation industry. Through a user-friendly interface, it accurately simulates vehicle turns and sweep paths through its powerful built-in animation capabilities.
