7.Continuous Simulation

This is a function how a running curve varies when a single operational parameter changes from one value to another continuously.

Click "Continuous Simulation" tab and click "Selection Wizard" button on it.

Select one train and one route using the same procedure described here.

When the wizard is completed, the tab changes like this.
The red framed part is the parameter area specific to this tab and others are same as "Operation Settings" tab.

How to set parameters

Pale green or pale yellow areas are input areas. Only integer values are allowed in pale yellow areas You should set the initial value, the final value and the incremental value like below.

Then click "Run" button.
Or after pressing right allow key, "Run" button title color turns into red and then press Enter key.

Then "Running curve 2" tab is activated and the calculating process is shown in the tab.

After completing the calculation, the running curve applied by the initial value set by above is displayed.

The red arrowed slider can change the parameter set above from the initial value to the terminal value and the running curve changes according to the slider position.
Other operation in this tab is similar to "Running curve" tab.

Notice:

The coupled train can not be simulated.
This simulation consumes high CPU resources and the system may get extremely slow and in some cases fail to respond.

Numerical output

The simulation result can be displayed as the numerical data.

Click "Running Data" tab and then the numerical data and its graph are displayed.

Click the column titled "Speed", "Time" and "Energy" and then the graph at the right side changes.

Save data

Numerical data can be saved as CSV format text file.

To save itt, click "Save" button.
