• Introduction
• Download the example
• Create all kpfr files under directory kpf
• Start the time-domain simulation
• Animate the results in postprocessor GPLOT

Introduction

A BoBo-vehicle passes a right-handed turnout:

The rail profiles has been measured at 30 different sections through the turnout.

Download the example

• Download the tar-file turnout_fasim_4.tgz
  • List the contents of the tar-file: tar -tzvkpf turnout_fasim_4.tgz
  • Extract the contents of the tar-file: tar -xzvkpf turnout_fasim_4.tgz
• or the zip-file turnout_fasim_4.zip
  • List the contents of the tar-file: unzip -l turnout_fasim_4.zip
  • Extract the contents of the tar-file: unzip turnout_fasim_4.zip
• or go directly to the files: turnout_fasim_4

Start the time-domain simulation

Double-click file runf/Run_4.tsimf and press Ctrl+R

Animate the results in postprocessor GPLOT

• Double-click file runf/Run_4.tsimf in the file text area.
• Press the Gplot–pushbutton.
• Open file gp/Run_4.gp by selecting File->read_GPdat in the pulldown menu bar
• In the pulldown menu bar press View->show_4_diag in order to show a close up view of the wheel/rail contact
• Start the animation by pressing the Fwd–pushbutton.
