CAD Data Converter

CAD data conversion tool for artisoc

Supports the previously burdensome process of converting CAD data to the cell space data used by artisoc.
Users can build models using basic models that derive the layout of the simulation from CAD data.
The tool includes functions to calculate and output the “potential,” which calculates the distance to an exit, a concept that is frequently used in models involving movement over the layout.

Features of the tool

Can designate bounds of area used in simulation,
as well as cell space size

Editing of attribute information for each cell,
and of potential information

※Functions to edit the CAD data itself are not included
Can read CAD data in DXF format

Compatible with Line, PolyLine, Circle and Arc entities in DXF-format data

Able to recognize closed areas in CAD data

CAD data space converted into artisoc cell space

Simulation attributes can be designated by a specific area in the CAD data.

Bulk designation of areas using fill function

Function to calculate potential maps

Potential maps can be created by specifying the calculation area and the destination.

Compatible with von Neumann neighborhood and Moore neighborhood calculation methods

Background image creation function

Images for use as backgrounds in artisoc are output in a format compatible with post-conversion data for use in simulations.

Data output functions

Output of cell space data for simulation use (attributes, potential data)

Output of vector data for simulation use (CAD data nodes, link data)

Output of background images compatible with simulation data

Included sample model shows agents operating
in a created cell space

The price for models that suit your application can be quoted separately.

Demonstration of use of output data

A sample model showing data output from the CAD Data Converter is included.
In the sample model, each agent moves toward the exits based on layout data, such as potential information and facilities information, output by the CAD Data Converter.
Please check the output data file format and image before using.
