Hello Bob,All I have a question for you Bob if you don`t mind, during your study of the eng/wag files with regard to physics have you managed to understand these three parameters from the coupler section. Centre ( 0.5 ) Radius ( 1 ) Angle ( 0.5deg ) What is their specific function within the coupler section and do they relate to either the coupler or buffer part of the section or both. I hope you can shed some light on this subject and I would be grateful for any help or suggestion you can give.Regards Stew aka 6330trainfan Albany WA Australia
Hi, I am sorry to not get right on this, but had a death in the family. I don't really have a perspective on these parameters, as they are not ones I usually modify in my work. I think these may be sensitive to model specific problems under some conditions, and I usually just leave them as set in the original model. Joe Morris (drjoe) may have some ideas on these parameters, as he has done a lot of testing of coupler data recently. Hope this helps, Bob
Hi Bob, My condolences to you and your family. Thanks for taking time to reply, much appreciated. Hopefully if Joe is having a read through the latest postings he will be kind enough to share his thoughts on the subject. So Joe if your reading this can you help ?Regards Stew aka 6330trainfan Albany WA Australia
