5.5.3.4 Result output for vehicle end geometry and coupler deflection
The result outputs depend on the considerations performed

Passing a curve,

Passing an s curve, as well as

Passing a varying inclination (concave transition).
For passing a curve, the distance between vehicle end walls is output as a function of the
width difference from the end wall middle (see Chapter 5.5.2.5) given for default or selected.
Coupler pivot angle  is also output.
For passing an s curve, minimal distance between vehicle end-walls w, offset of parallel
vehicle axes u and the coupler pivot angle are specified.
At the position in height of the buffers and in height of the roof edge,
for passing a
perpendicular angle (concave transition), the height of the corresponding position and the
associated distance between vehicle end-walls z are output.
5.5.3.5 Result output reduction
The calculation positions are displayed in data tables (see Chapter 5.5.2.2) according to the
selection made on the index card „Calculation positions for reduction“ in the dialog
„Report elements“.
