Using this command, the Widenings associated with a pre-defined alignment are generated.
MDT initially asks for the file in which the axis defined is contain and then the file where it is wished to save the widenings (extension .SOB).
The widenings will be generated in line with the road standards for the selected country. At present MDT has the possibility of working with the standards of different countries (Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Andorra …) and the software is prepared for the user to modify or incorporate its own standards.
The software configuration folder contains the different tables deployed to generate them and a screenshot can then be viewed where their location can be seen.
If the standards of a country are chosen which has several associated tables, the program, before carrying out the conversion, will ask the user to indicate the widenings table he wishes to use to carry out the conversion.
