Users Manual for Program group KPF  

kpf

The main program that creates the wheel-rail geometry functions. The functions are created from measured or designed wheel and rail profiles.

kpf_plot

A program that plots wheel-rail geometry functions, written on a KPF output format.

kpf_rot

This program rotates a point cluster about origin. The cluster might for instance be a rail profile that should be inclined in relation to measured inclination.

kpf_turn

This program is obsolete, please use program FILE_UPDOWN instead.

conv_kpfr2matlab

Converts wheel/rail-geometry kpfr-files into matlab m-files.

conv_miniprof2kpf_wheel

Converts wheel profiles measured by the miniprof profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

The miniprof measuring instrument can sometimes be difficult to orient, especially if the inside of the wheel is worn. The measured profiles can be oriented relative to an unworn theoretical profile in program MPLOT by using the command func rot_orient.

conv_miniprof2kpf_rail

Converts rail profiles measured by the miniprof profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

conv_spak2kpf <in-file> <out-file>

Converts rail or wheel profiles measured by the SPAK profile measuring instrument into a format suitable for program KPF.

conv_strix2kpf_left <in-file> <out-file>

Converts the left rail profiles measured by the STRIX track measuring car into a format suitable for program KPF.

conv_strix2kpf_right <in-file> <out-file>

Converts the right rail profiles measured by the STRIX track measuring car into a format suitable for program KPF.
