Convert 3D Shell or 3D Spline Road to CRG Road

Setup → Vehicle Environment → Road Conversion
The Road Conversion allows for converting 3D Shell or 3D Spline roads to CRG (Curved Regular Grid) roads. As CRG roads are normally faster to evaluate, using CRG roads may improve the solution speed of your simulation. In order to properly capture road obstacles defined in a 3D Shell or 3D Spline road, one has to properly select the grid dimensions of the road.
For more information, see OpenCRG Road Model.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Input Road Data File
Enter the name of a 3D Spline or 3D Shell road file that you want to convert to a CRG road file. To visualize the input road, click on the 'Show' button.
Output CRG Road Data File
Enter the name of the CRG road file that you want to create. The extension of the CRG road file has to be .crg. After creating the .crg road, click on the 'Show' button to visualize it.
Road Grid Size X
Enter the grid size [mm] in X direction.
Road Grid Size Y
Enter the grid size [mm] in Y direction.
 
Note:  
3D drum roads are not supported, 2D road offers a drum road.
