Workflow

  1. If you don't have the input file yet you can download it here
  2. Set parameters in input file
  3. Choose SC configuration and upload input file
  4. For the 1 Mast SCs there are two configurations (see About page): moving direction right and left
  5. 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)
  6. Start computation, which will take a couple of seconds
  7. After computation download result file
  8. 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
