Key Functions and Features of CPT-CAD

  • Create cross-sections and maps based on information contained in interpreted CPTU soundings and information contained in the GEO DB database.
  • CPT-CAD has implemented CAD graphics and use basic CAD software features, including CAD layers, line types, blocks, snapping, hatch fills, etc.
  • CPT-CAD saves cross-sections and maps as DWG/DXF files
  • The implemented CAD graphics allow you to edit DWG and DXF files created in other programs
  • Cross-sections can be drawn [from point to point] or can be projections of selected holes onto a polyline, any user-defined
  • Introduction of a polyline generated in another program as a projection line
  • Separately defined horizontal and vertical cross-section scales

Geological cross-section. Automatically generated objects

  • Borehole/test number
  • Elevation for each borehole
  • Borehole profiles filled with hatching or colors, derived from the interpretation of CPTU tests
  • Borehole profiles filled with hatching or colors derived from the GEO DB database
  • Divisions into geological-engineering and geotechnical layers
  • Descriptions of individual layers containing any selected layer properties (soil type, parameter values, etc.)
  • Soil symbols
  • Names of engineering-geological and geotechnical layers
  • Symbols and elevations from water table levels
  • Section dimensions and distances between boreholes
  • Roof and floor elevations and layer thickness
  • Graphs of parameters stored in the GEO DB
  • Graphs of native parameters from CPT, DMT, and DPT probes
  • Graphs of parameters interpreted from CPT, DMT, and DPT probes
  • Vertical axes of the cross-section with elevations Z
  • Grid horizontal sectioning consistent with rulers
  • Axes, scales, and grids for individual charts

Geological cross-section. User-entered objects

  • Any graphical objects generated manually using implemented CAD tools
  • Geological layers and structures
  • Delineation of selected ground zones
  • Additional text descriptions
  • Legends
  • Images saved in BMP and JPG formats
  • Images from "external" DWG/DXF files containing, for example, building designs or other structures

Built-in CAD options and procedures

  • CAD layers
  • Snapping to selected points
  • Lines and line styles
  • Polylines
  • Splines
  • Circles, ellipses, and arcs
  • Standard hatch fills
  • Hatch fills compatible with symbols used in GEO DB and CPT-pro
  • Dimensioning elements
  • Blocks
  • Simple texts
  • Multi-line texts
Automatically generated geological cross section

Maps

CPT-CAD allows for the automatic generation of maps showing the location of all soundings and boreholes used to generate a geological cross-section. These maps can be supplemented with a terrain map saved as a DWG/DXF file.
