Popis: In a companion paper [1], a low computational cost nonlinear formulation was presented to for the analysis of the forces of long trains. The formulation allows systematically changing the number of degrees of freedom of each rail car and includes the force inputs that are typically found in railroad applications. In this paper, the implementation of this nonlinear formulation is described. A computer interface is also developed in order to allow the user to operate a virtual train model in real time and also change the model parameters and car connectivity conditions. Numerical results are presented in order to demonstrate the use of the formulation proposed and its computer implementation.Copyright © 2007 by ASME
