LEGION Simulator Help

Off-line analysis

This form of analysis uses your LEGION Model File and a pre-recorded LEGION Simulation Results File.

Note: Off-line analyses use the fixed, unchanging simulation stored in the LEGION Simulation Results File.

Starting an off-line analysis session

The LEGION Model File provides information about the model's visual elements and the LEGION Simulation Results File contains information about Entity movement. When you start an off-line analysis session, you are required to open both files.

Note: When starting a session, there is a chance you will be asked to choose between your model's global Generalised Journey Time (GJT) weightings and LEGION Simulator's GJT weightings. This occurs if the settings don't match because the LEGION Model File settings have been changed, or if the LEGION Model File was created in software earlier than SpaceWorks R5. The following dialog box will be displayed, where you can decide on which weightings to use in your analysis session. Click one of the two buttons at the foot of the dialog.

To start an off-line analysis session:

  1. Click or select File > New.

    The ‘New Projects File’ dialog is displayed.

    Warning: Ensure you load a LEGION Model File that was used to generate the LEGION Simulation Results File you are using in your off-line analysis session.
  2. Click the browse button to the right of the Model File box and select the appropriate LEGION Model File by navigating within the 'Open' dialog.
  3. Click the browse button to the right of the Data Source box and select the appropriate LEGION Simulation Results File by navigating within the 'Open' dialog.
  4. If your simulation includes Aimsun vehicles, check the box labelled 'Load Aimsun simulation result file', click the related browse button and select the appropriate 'xml' file.

    See Showing vehicles in LEGION Simulator for more information.

  5. When you have selected your project files, click OK on the ‘New Project Files’ dialog.

    The model is displayed in the LEGION Simulator workspace.

  6. Click or select File > Save and choose a name and location for your LEGION Simulation Analysis file.

    You are now ready to start your analysis session.
