Create New TrackPath

All track axes, which should be considered as a track in the catenary design, have to be combined in a track path.

Intention

Create a new track path.

Instructions

  1. Call the Create Track Path function.
  2. Select the beginning track axis (click on the corresponding track axis).
  3. Successively select the other track axes you want to assign to this track path.
  4. Quit the procedure with Cancel once you have selected all track axes.
  5. Enter the name of the track path and the beginning chainage value in the dialog box.
  6. Confirm with OK to create the track path.

Conclusion

The track path is created.

Note: Sicat Master independently finds the way from one to the next track axis for itself. If several possible ways are found, Sicat Master will automatically select the shortest way. In case of track paths for catenary guiding over side tracks, which mostly provide a longer way, at least one track axis of the side track has to be specified. You can shorten the input process considerably, if you only specify the track axes in the neuralgic points.
Note: You should assign a name for the new track path after specifying of all track axes.
