Advanced Auxiliaries Editor


 

 

 

Description


The Advance Auxiliaries Editor File (.aaux) defines all the auxiliary related parameters and input files like Alternator and Compressor Maps and HVAC steady state model outputs.

The Advance Auxiliaries Editor contains four tabs/sub-modules where the different advanced auxiliary types can be configured:

·         General

·         Electrics

·         Pneumatics

·         HVAC


Sub-modules


General
Currently empty – reserved for potential future expansion.

Electrical
The “Electrics” tab defines various parameters for electric auxiliaries used on the vehicle.

Pneumatic
The “Pneumatic” tab defines various pneumatic auxiliaries data and pneumatic variables

HVAC
The “HVAC” tab defines the steady state output values, which can also be loaded via the Steady State Model File (.AHSM)


Important notes


Note that the cycle file name used must respect this syntax to be correctly associated with the pneumatic actuations map (.apac), otherwise the number of actuations will be set at 0 by default:

·         “AnyOtherText _X_Bus.vdri”, with “X” = “Urban”, “Heavy urban”, “Suburban”, or “Interurban”

·          “AnyOtherText_Coach.vdri”


File Format


The file uses the VECTO JSON format.

The new file types have also defined to support the new Advanced Auxiliaries module in VECTO include:
