Terramodel is a Trimble software package providing tools for the civil engineer and surveyor alike. Terramodel can be purchased in a variety of configurations to reflect the requirements of the operator. This course provides an introduction to the software as a whole, including many of the functions that are used by both surveyors and engineers. The course then covers the Earthworks related functions within Terramodel for the creation of surface models and computation of volume reports.
Study of the Raw Data Editor (RDE) is included in this course. The RDE is the part of Terramodel that preprocesses raw survey data before passing it into the main Terramodel program. The RDE is used in the main to process total station survey data and to compute traverse adjustments. Aside from basic CAD editing tools, the course also runs through how to use the drafting tools for the production of plan drawings. This includes the process of creating and editing a code library and related symbols.
The EarthWorks operations begin by considering what type of data are required to build triangulated surface models (DTMs), how to build them and then to check them. A number of DTM related functions are practiced before studying the creation of long sections and cross sections. The EarthWorks report function is then used to create volume reports for a variety of applications, e.g. stockpile, cut/fill, etc…
