On 19th May, 2010, CGS distributor Geolink organized conference named »Geo engineering day«. About 200 attendees took part at conference in Skopje, which is the most attended event among CGS international distributors and resellers!

Many new functionalities in Plateia 2011 have been introduced on the conference, including new Swept Path Analysis. On separate session, we have presented Slovenian experience with introduction of Road Weather Information Systems.

Despite its small size, Macedonia remains very attractive market for CGS. That is the first country outside Slovenia, that has adopted Ferrovia as their standard tool for design of railways. This year was the first time that we felt stronger interest for Aquaterra. Macedonian highway network is in early stage of planning and design, so this market remains one of the most important regions for CGS in Southern Europe.

What's new in Swept Path 2010?

Module swept path analysis and driving simulation can be used to analyze intersections, roundabouts, narrow streets, garage entrances, etc. or to check maneuverability and clearance.

§  Automatic driving simulation along the selected Civil 3D alignment or polyline with the front or rear vehicle axis;

§  Intuitive manual driving simulation controlled by the mouse;

§  Graphical representation of the analysis results with tire paths, outer edge, colored area, …;

§  Vertical swept path analysis in profile;

§  Analysis results are updated automatically if reference alignment or profile is changed;

§  Analysis can be easily and intuitively controlled by moving the alignment or profile grips;

§  Includes a standard vehicle library. A new vehicle can be added or an existing vehicle can be modified if required. There is the ability to construct special vehicles (aircraft, tractor, special truck, …) with the facility to add them to the vehicle library;

§  Analysis reports and diagrams are instantly generated.

The Year 2009 was very successful for CGS plus Ferrovia rail design product. We have successfully expanded our market to Slovakia and Bulgaria (Rol+). Ferrovia is proving to be a comprehensive yet easily adaptable rail design and maintenance tool for answering various country specific needs. Its user friendly workflow, easy user/standard adaptable use and stability is proving on day to day basis in large design companies around the world. 

We are also expecting to enlarge our market in 2010 significantly since many new markets are testing our railway design and maintenance solution. Ferrovia - to find out more, contact us!  

On October 22nd 2009, Autodesk released Civil 3D 2010 Subscription Advantage Pack (SAP), available to Civil 3D subscription customers, which contains significant portions of CGS plus software code. 

Two important features in the SAP release, coming from CGS plus, are Roundabouts and Best fit.

»We are proud that Autodesk selected us to contribute to their Civil 3D SAP release. We worked very hard during the summer to meet strict development requirements. This experience will help our development team and CGS products to become even more professional.«

Several project offices for road design in Albania use CGS software Plateia together with AutoCAD Civil 3D. The first user of Plateia in Albania was company "TC projects" and several companies are following.

In March, 2009 our existing distributor for Kosovo, company IEE opened its subsidiary in Tirana. After official presentation of CGS products and Civil 3D, very evident interest for such SW for road design is noticed in Albanian market.

Another cause of successful sales of Plateia and Civil 3D is also raising market and numerous projects for construction of roads all over Albania.

Plateia and Civil 3D have been also used in the design of the newest section of road, connecting Albania with Kosovo.

We are happy to announce that we have released:

-  Plateia 2010, 
-  Aquaterra 2010, 
-  Ferrovia 2010 and 
-  CGS Civil 3D Extensions 2010. 

All of our 2010 software series are 100% Civil3D 2010 compatible. Besides that many new and advanced features have been developed, that help an engineer design with speed and ease.

Collaborative partnership helps transportation engineers increase profitability!

We are proudly announcing, that the biggest Slovak company for railway design »Dopravoprojekt« decided to purchase several licenses of Ferrovia.

Ferrovia is tailor-made for local needs of Czech and Slovak users: The SW includes local standards and language, and many additional functionalities, design according to local needs and wishes of local users. Ferrovia has the most customer-oriented approach comparing to other similar SW, so the path for further successes in Czech and Slovak market is now widely open.

Besides Macedonia and Slovakia, there is just matter of time to announce further success in some other European countries.

CGS plus recently established partnership with distributors in Great Britain and Netherlands. 

Meanwhile there are also news from Balcans: Distributor of CGS software in Kosovo, company IEE, just opened their subsidiary in Tirana, to better serve Albanian users of CGS software.

Successful presentation of CGS products in mid of February in Tirana already raised much interest among Albanian road-, rail- and river design companies. Albania is 23rd country with established distributor of CGS plus software.

CGS is strengthening it's already excellent relationship with Danish Hydraulic Institute. CGS is successfuly distributing DHI products and DHI is offering us help in distribution of Aquaterra, especially in those parts of the world where there is no strong distribution of CGS products.

CGS and DHI have just issued joint leaflet for MIKE 11 users. A big share of them are also potential customers for Aquaterra. Vice versa: Existing Aquaterra users are potential customers for DHI products. Download the leaflet.

DHI conference hosted large number of participants from all over the world, especially from Southern and Eastern Europe. Because of many participants from Croatia, we took part at the conference together with our Croatian distributor, Studio Ars.
