Workflow
- If you don't have the input file yet you can download it here
- Set parameters in input file
- Choose SC configuration and upload input file
- For the 1 Mast SCs there are two configurations (see About page): moving direction right and left
- Choose a computation mode: Proof (computes the proofs for given configurations) or Min. Diameter (computes for given configuration min. diameter so that all proofs are fullfilled)
- Start computation, which will take a couple of seconds
- After computation download result file
- Possible errors will be displayed
Result file structure
The result file will have two sheets.
Summary
- For computation mode "Min. Diameter": min. diameter that fullfilled all proofs. (NaN means that there was no wheel geometry for which all proofs were fulfilled)
- Results of static and fatigue proof for both wheels and rail (True=Fulfilled, False=Not fulfilled)
- Input data of each configuration
