Users Manual for Program group KPF



kpf
The main program that creates the wheel-rail geometry functions. The functions are created from measured or designed wheel and rail profiles.

kpf_plot
A program that plots wheel-rail geometry functions, written on a KPF output format.

kpf_rot
This program rotates a point cluster about origin. The cluster might for instance be a rail profile that should be inclined in relation to measured inclination.

kpf_turn
This program is obsolete, please use program FILE_UPDOWN instead.

pre_contact
Calculates the distances between the surfaces of wheel and rail. Contact pressure distribution in contact point can also be calculated.

kpf_conv_kpfr2matlab
Converts wheel/rail-geometry kpfr-files into matlab m-files.

kpf_conv_FIT2kpf_rail <in-file> <out-file>
Converts rail profiles written in FIT-format, into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_miniprof2kpf_rail
Converts rail profiles measured by the miniprof profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_miniprof2kpf_wheel
Converts wheel profiles measured by the miniprof profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_spak2kpf <in-file> <out-file>
Converts rail or wheel profiles measured by the SPAK profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_strix2kpf
Converts rail profiles measured by the STRIX track recording car into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_RS2009_to_kpf_rail
Converts rail profiles measured by the RailScan profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

kpf_conv_WS2009_to_kpf_wheel
Converts wheel profiles measured by the WheelScan profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

gen_plot_rail.sh <rail profile>
Makes a plot of a rail profile in [mm]. The profile must be stored in .rail format.
The reference profile that is also shown in the figure is: $genkpf/../r_prof/EN13674_60E1/EN13674_60E1i40.rail

gen_plot_railm.sh <rail profile>
Makes a plot of a rail profile i [m]. The profile must be stored in .railm format.
The reference profile that is also shown in the figure is: $genkpf/../r_prof/EN13674_60E1/EN13674_60E1i40.railm

gen_plot_wheel.sh <wheel profile>
Makes a plot of a wheel profile. The profile must be stored in .wheel format.
The reference profile that is also shown in the figure is: $genkpf/../w_prof/EN13715.2006/ENS1002t32.5.wheel

gen_plot_wheelm.sh <wheel profile>
Makes a plot of a wheel profile. The profile must be stored in .wheelm format.
The reference profile that is also shown in the figure is: $genkpf/../w_prof/EN13715.2006/ENS1002t32.5.wheelm
