McHenry Forum - Crash Reconstruction & Simulation

feb 2022 new videos posted to list

Video demonstrating the NEW msmac3D Point List animation with a HOWTO display other simulation program results directly in msmac3D 3D graphics.

4.5.4 update Feb 13, 2024 We added ability to change/check Lence angle (for wide or telephoto lens) graphics variables.png The Lence angle when all the way to the left is infinite (so orthogonal) all the way to right is wide angle. move the slide bar to change the lens. Clicking on the line adjacent...

A new video has been posted up of a msmac3D Crash Reconstruction of a truck and vehicle interaction which resulted in the truck rolling over. The video includes several views of the crash reconstruction. The video is a good demonstration of some of the many msmac3D simulation and graphical capabilit...

Had a request on tech support for where to find models and we recommended Turbo Squid however Note: We convert any model from 3D CAD browser for free since they only charge us ~$10 a model, whereas Turbo Squid is $50-$400 or so NOTE: On some models we can’t convert because they simply paste texture ...

jAN 31, 2024: ADDED TO VER 4.5.02 The scaling logic now will exclude the Mirrors and Antenae from the scaling IF they have the word MIRROR or ANTENNAE in them (rename them! if you are creating a 3D Model!) HOWEVER older 3D Models need to be updated to include separate Layers MIRRORS and/or ANTENAE s...

added additional graphics, updated images

4.5.1 now added to this thread

updates for 2024

Ran across this again so good idea to always check you 3d models on an overhead view, when you click on the model, it shows a purple 'box' which is the overall length and width Since generally width is NOT including the sideview mirrors, be sure to change the Width scale (see below) we have an enhan...
