Cube Dynasim
Network Scenarios
The Network Scenario may be assembled in Cube Dynasim or linked to network data available in other Cube functional libraries. A network scenario is composed of:
Dynasim Animation
• 1 - A Layer Set.
A subset of the available layers, which contain all the network elements for a particular alternative.
Layers allow the analyst to very easily generate any number of alternatives for evaluation by combining the different layers in different combinations. For instance, a Base layer may be used to code up all portions of the network that will remain unchanged throughout the scenarios.
Then, the area under consideration may be coded in separate layers for each alternative. In this way, all the network scenarios share the Base layer and only differ in the area under development. If an error is found in the Base layer, the fix is automatically propagated through all the scenarios sharing that layer. Redundancy is eliminated. File maintenance and data verification become negligible. There is never a need to maintain separate files of the same network.
• 2 - A Background Map.
Background maps may either be DXF CAD files, image files (BMP, JPG, TIF, SID), or GIS shape files. Construction or as-built cad drawings may be used directly by Cube Dynasim and the displayed layer set may be selected within Cube Dynasim.
Multiple background maps may be developed from a single DXF file by employing different layer sets. Multiple images may be used within a single background map to tile large areas or establish images to be viewed at different resolutions. Cube Dynasim will automatically determine which images are appropriate for the viewable area. Large low resolution images will be automatically selected while zoomed out and smaller high resolution tiles will be used when zoomed into a single intersection
