- Optional Prerequisites: Completing the Civil Design Basics course will give you a great head start.
Course Outline:
This course covers the end-to-end process of rail track alignment and design in 12d Model. You will master track centreline generation and best-fit regression alignments from surveyed rails, mainline and passing loop design, version control, track slew assessment, chainage equalities, structural clearance, and rail cant calculations. Additionally, you will learn to model complex physical assets, including rail formations, level crossings, turnouts, culverts, and 3D trimesh/polymesh elements for rails, sleepers and ballast.
