SIMULATION: TUTORIAL
Step 0: TUTORIAL OVERVIEW
This tutorial aims at a fast overview of all operations required for running simulation.
It is built as a sequence of commented steps which you can simultaneaously mimic on CDM-Rail.
It is recommended to follow all steps of this tutorial, in order to learn and assimilate the minimum requirement
for a safe use of CDM-Rail simulation.
We'll see:
-
how to add signals, and thus build blocks on the layout.
-
create routes for trains.
-
create trains.
-
set trains on their initial locations, and routes.
-
create and restore simulation contexts.
-
start simulation.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we are going to restart from the layout used for layout drawing tutorial.
This layout may be retrieved from subdirectory ./Layouts/TUTORIALS, under CDM-Rail installation
directory
(_TUTORIAL_final.lay), or dowloaded from here.
-
First open it: "File/Layout" >> "Open Layout" (from main menu bar)
-
And then save it (in your own work directory) under the new name used for the simulation tutorial:
for example "Tuto_Simu.lay"
"File/Layout" >> "Save Layout As" (from main menu bar).
All intermediate layouts, as generated from this tutorial, are downloadable at the end of any step.
They are named _TUTO_SIMU_00.lay, _TUTO_SIMU_01.lay, ...
They allow you to restart from any tutorial step, and not reexecute the previous steps.
As for the drawing tutorial, don't forget to save your layout frequently (at the end of any step, or even more often).
"File/Layout" >> "Save Layout"
The resulting layout at the end of this step is
<CDM-rail>\Layout\TUTORIALS\TUTO_SIMU_00.lay
And now let's go the the first topic: setting signals.
