Reading a V4 Route in a V5 Session

This task shows how to read a V4 route (track +shuttle) in DMU Fitting V5.

When inserting a V4 model in V5 product, if the model contains V4 routes and shuttles, the routes and shuttles will be read. 

They will be selectable in the navigation tree under the *MASTER container.

A copy/paste operation from the V4 Master container to the V5 Tracks container will convert the V4 Routes in V5 tracks.

A V4 Route is the association of: 1 Shuttle, 1 Home position and n Trajectories.

A V5 Track is the association of: 1 Shuttle or 1 Product, and 1 Trajectory.

The conversion will concatenate the positions in the V4 Home and Trajectories to generate a single V5 path.
Insert the following  .model files in the samples folder:
  • FITTING_DATA.model
  • FUEL_TUBE.model
  • NAVIGATION_BOX.model
  • OVERALL_STRUCTURE.model
  • SUPPORT_BEAM.model

  1. In the specification tree where the Version 4 model is displayed, select the item you wish to copy into the Fitting Simulator Version 5.
