| The "superelevation" or the slope of rails in curves is proposed from now on in T:ANE.
| | #Redirect [[HowTo/Use_Superelevation]] |
| | |
| Here is the example of a machine launched to 80 kph in a curve of 500 meters of beam. Its slope has to be 4 ° to resist the centrifugal force and not not wear out prematurely the outer rails.

| However, the implementation of the superelevation in T:ANE is little transparent for the moment. Here is thus a small guide who will supply you all the necessary elements.
| |
| | |
| | |
| In T:ANE, the superelevation is adjusted by means of two parameters. We reach it by the panel "rail", and " advanced mode "

| [[File:11.jpg]] By clicking a '''summit of spline of track''', we reveal both parameters to be served:

| The Superelevation is the height which takes the outside rail compared with the internal rail in a curve.
| |
| | |
| It is calculated as the plan below shows it:

| If, to calculate the superelevation, the beam of the curve is unknown, it can be calculated by measuring the arrow and the chord of the curve:

| Every country has its own standards of superelevation. We find them rather easily on the internet.
| |
| | |
| In France, the superelevation does not have to exceed 16 cms in standard gauge way and 10 cms in metrics.
