Track threads or continuous track vehicles

How do I create a vehicle with track threads?
I'd like to use it for crane swept path analysis. Please advise me.

Hi,

To create a vehicle with track threads for crane swept path analysis, you can use specialized software like AutoTURN or similar CAD-based tools. These programs allow you to model and simulate the movement of tracked vehicles accurately. Make sure to input the vehicle's specifications and path requirements to ensure precise inspection.

Thanks

Looking through the help, I don't believe Autodesk Vehicle Tracking can model tracked vehicles. If you think about it a typical tracked vehicle has a turning radius of 0, so not sure how modeling would help that.

If you read this article you can find a bit about the limitations.

Track vehicles are vehicles that utilize continuous tracks instead of wheels for locomotion. These tracks provide superior traction and stability, especially in challenging terrains like mud, snow, and sand.

Types of Track Vehicles

Tanks: Armored combat vehicles designed for warfare.
Bulldozers: Heavy construction equipment used for clearing land and moving earth.
Tractors: Agricultural vehicles used for plowing, planting, and harvesting.
Snowmobiles: Recreational vehicles designed for travel over snow.
Military engineering vehicles: Vehicles used for tasks like bridging, mine clearance, and obstacle removal.
