New Stuff in REC-TEC
A current Plus Option converts all Pro/Platinum licenses to Unlimited Install licenses allowing the user to install the licensed program on all of their computers and USB flash drives. The USB flash drive installation lets the program run straight from the USB drive with absolutely no transfer of files to the host "Windows compatible (including Apple Macintosh)" computer.
Please see the F1/F7 key Help files in the individual program modules for more information. Some features may not be available in all versions of the program.
If you have any suggestions for modifications or additions to the program, please e-mail them to us by clicking on Email.
Inside REC-TEC (New for 2012) has additional information and some screen captures
Triggered Upgrades
Version 20120201
Heavy Truck
Added Interactive Formulae* in Maximum Off-Tracking
Added Interactive Formulae* in
Rollover (This module can also be used for Cars, Pickups and
Utility Vehicles)
SMAC-RT
Refined User Interface for SMAC-RT
Help Files (F1-F7)
Arabic now added as a 6th Language
Version 20120123
REC-TEC Platinum, all of the Iteration and Finite
Difference Analysis frames include a sub-frame that has both a Clear
and AutoFill button. These buttons are coupled with an input box for entering a
user-desired Range in percent (+/-) for the variables in Iteration and/or
Finite Difference Analysis. If the
module offers Iteration, a second input box is used for the Interval
(percent of the variable). The Clear
button will clear the entire table. The
AutoFill button will automatically populate the table.
If the variable is an angle, the Range becomes degrees, as does
the Interval.
Version 20111222
Drive3 tweaks
Added Range option in Path Intrusion - Front
Added Range option in Path Intrusion - Side
Added ToolTips to some obscure Data Headings
Pole/Narrow Object
Corrected error in formulae (Woods)
Momentum modules menu rearranged to avoid selection errors
Re-ordered the menu to reduce mistakes in module selection (mostly mine)
Tweaks to 360 Linear Momentum, Digital Momentum, and 360LM Lite modules
Tweaked the Open/Save file structure to more efficiently handle the addition of Vector computations
PDOF1&2-TEST files added to Digital Momentum and 360LM Lite to show the PDOF computation results
Added the ability to Swap Vehicles 1 and 2 in the Digital Momentum and 360LM Lite modules.
Added the ability to send the 360LM Lite collision data to the 360 Linear Momentum module
Solver Function>Vectors (EDR-DeltaV)
Added Diagrams and Formulae for each individual DeltaV computation
Added a DeltaV (Lateral) input making this module more versatile and accurate
Added the ability to Swap Vehicles 1 and 2 in the Vector module.
Added ability to Transfer collision data to 360 Linear Momentum
Adding ability to Transfer collision data to 360 Digital Momentum
Added PDOF1 and PDOF2 elements to Formulae display
Added PDOF1 & 2-TEST files to show the PDOF computation results
Modifications to CRUSH5 (Crash3)
Added COLM angular data to Open/Save files
Added transfer of collision and vehicle data to 360 Linear Momentum (for transfer to SMAC-RT)
Added PDOF1 and PDOF2 elements to Formulae display
Triangle Solver
Added Open/Save File option to module
[F7] Key added to Menu
[F7] key calls Help files directly from Website in HTML format. This allows your Browser to translate the page with Bing, Google, or other Translation Accelerator into any of their listed language.
Added Files (675 total in download)
Added a file for S-Cam/Air Disc III (REC-TEC One & REC-TEC PRO) not included in the French, German, Russian and Spanish) folders within the program and on the website. This could have caused an website file error.
Added a file (TestFDA.vec) for use in the Vector
module.
Vector Module
Removed a conflict between statements that could cause a misread
Version 20111111
Drag-Drop flags added to Time-Distance (EDM)
Red Flags control Time line in upper frame and Distance line in lower frame
Green Flags control Speed line in both frames
Placing cursor on Flags will show value (time, distance, or speed) at the current line position. User must click on the Flag if it is not moved to new position in order to show value
Latest Program Upgrades
The last 6 months of upgrades to the program will be posted on the website. They will be accessible through the program
Version 20111
011 and earlier (last 6 months or so)Multi-Language F1(or F6)-Help Files
All F1(or F6)-Key help files are now in the user's choice of French, German, English, Russian, or Spanish
Other languages can be made available - Call or Email for Pricing
Inside REC-TEC posted on website in all 5 languages mentioned above
Modifications to Momentum
360 Digital Momentum uses Longitudinal DeltaV1 and PDOF1 in lieu of V3 and V4 speed information
360 Linear Momentum uses Longitudinal DeltaV1 and PDOF1 in lieu of V3 and V4 speed information
360 LM Lite uses Longitudinal DeltaV1 and PDOF1 in lieu of V3 and V4 speed information
Modifications to CRUSHV (Crash3)
CRUSHV will now compute V1, V2, V3, and V4 if given the approach and departure angles - no other post-impact information is required
Modifications to Vectors (EDR-DeltaV)
Compute V1, V2, V3, and V4 if given Longitudinal DeltaV1 and PDOF1 and the approach and departure angles - no other post impact information is required. Graphics will show the collision vectors
Interactive Formulae
Iteration tables on the variables
Finite Difference Analysis on the Variable ranges
Modifications to Vault-Slide Integration
Time from Maximum Vertical Height to Landing , Initial Separation Vertical Speeds and Final (Impact) Vertical Speeds
Modifications to Speed from RPM
Tire Radius based on Tire Description (255 / 60 R 15)
RPM from Target Speed
Iteration tables on the variables
Finite Difference Analysis on the Variable ranges
Modifications to Motorcycle Lean Angle
Graphics show Lean Angle and Radius with Speed and Friction values
Latest Modifications to SMAC
Ability to use Bitmap (Photograph, Scale Drawing,, or Hybrid) as background for Animation.
Less than 60 seconds to scale animation to bitmap and place collision point at POI (mostly mouse clicks)
Easy setup of collision using data transfer from 360 Linear Momentum and Crush Vehicle information to place vehicles at exact collision point
