TurboCalc Key Features
|
|
TurboCalc offers a collection of facilities that have been enhanced over several years to incorporate latest computing technology and valuable inputs from users.
|
|
|
Sketching tools
|
Constraint manager: TurboCalc includes an ultra-fast constraint manager especially tailored for function modeling. The powerful point and click constraint manager can resolve virtually unlimited number of circularities. It tracks original design intents to automatically resolve plural solutions. Initial geometry can be entered within TurboCalc as well as imported from any DXF compliant CAD software using the built-in 2-way automatic translator.
Geometry definition tools: Line, Circle, Arc, Poly Line, Closed Boundary. Initial geometry can also be imported from any DXF compliant CAD software.
Constraint tools: Free point, Concentric, Centroid, Endpoint, Proportional, Tangent, Intersection, Virtual Intersection, On-Entity/Slider, Parallel, Perpendicular, and at a fixed angle with respect to another line.
Automatic Constraint inferring facility: TurboCalc includes an automatic constraint inference facility which, when turned on, allows you to snap automatically to center, endpoints, tangents, centroid, and on-geometry automatically. Lines snap automatically to horizontal and vertical.
Text tool: Allows entering notes and annotations. Use all available fonts in your computer.
View manipulation tools: Pan, Zoom, Zoom by 2X, Zoom by .5X, Zoom to fit, Show paper boundary.

Automatic measurements
|
|
TurboCalc incorporates linear, radial, and angular dimensions that can be constrained to measure any aspect of the flexible model. The measurements are updated automatically as design intents are altered. The measurements can be directly included in calculations setup in TurboCalc Formula bar.
|
|
|
Calculations facilities
|
Formula Bar: TurboCalc incorporates a “point and click” Excel type Formula bar that is used to establish bi-directional association between geometry, dimension, values, and calculations.
Built-in calculation functions: TurboCalc includes a library of 88 built-in functions to setup in the Formula bar and the Programmable calculator.

|
Automatic backsolving (Goal Seek)
|
|
TurboCalc allows users to stipulated any measured or calculated value as design target and then have the computer Goal Seek the characteristics of any geometry that participates in the result until the actual value of the measurement or the calculated value is equal to the stipulated target value.
