NINA-a programme System for analysing and Determining the overall

摘要

In 1994, the institute for railway vehicle engineering of Dresden Technical University startet With the development of the NINA programme system at the request of railway vehicle Manufacturers and operators. The first step was the basic module for determining the Overall dimensions of the vehicles in accordance with the applicable specifications. Subse- Quent extensions relate to eccentricities, varied forms of running gear, articulated trains and A database for tilting coefficients and rolling poles of existing vehicles as well as to the determination of the bogie Displacement, the end wall geometry and the coupling deflections in curves and reverse curves. The paper describes the Developments, structure and handling of the programme system and mentions a possible extension of the programme System to include tramways.
