Get Started
The WinProp Getting Started Guide contains step-by-step instructions on how to get started with WinProp.
Examples
The Altair installation directory contains a collection of examples that shows you WinProp concepts and essentials.
Introduction to WinProp
WinProp is a complete suite of tools in the domain of wireless propagation and radio network planning. With applications ranging from satellite to terrestrial, from rural via urban to indoor radio links, WinProp’s innovative wave propagation models combine accuracy with short computation time.
Typical Workflow in WinProp
View the typical workflows when working with propagation simulations in specific scenarios, how to add a network planning to a propagation simulation, include a receiver pattern, set up a time-variant scenario, include multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) at both the base station and the mobile station, connectivity analysis of sensor networks and optimization.
WallMan
The WallMan component offers a convenient facility to generate and edit vector building databases.
TuMan
The TuMan tool enables you to generate and modify tunnel scenarios.

    - Define Side View Tool
      Use the Define side view tool to define the side view direction.
    - Node Tool
      Use the Node tool to add new node objects to the database.
    - 3D Line Tool
      Use the 3D Line tool to connect two nodes with a straight line.
    - Spline Tool
      Use the Spline tool to connect two nodes with a three-dimensional spline curve.
    - Junction Tool
      Use the Junction tool to connect two tracks with a junction.
  - Cross-Section
  - Edit Tool
    In the edit mode, you can mark objects by clicking on the object using the left mouse button.
  - Mouse Pan and Zoom Tool
    This tool is helpful when you need to navigate quickly through a database.
  - Zoom Window Tool
    The Zoom Window tool enables you to select a rectangular area of the screen and zoom into a view of that area.
  - Object Properties
  - Marked Objects
    Objects can be marked with the Edit tool. Marked objects are displayed in red color. You can move, cut, copy or delete marked objects.
- Toolbars
- Default Shortcut Keys
  View the default shortcut keys available for TuMan for faster and easier operation.
AMan
Use AMan to generate, edit and analyze a single antenna. Superimpose multiple antennas radiating similar signals to determine the actual antenna pattern while taking into consideration the local environment.
ProMan
The ProMan component includes wave propagation models for different scenarios and network planning simulators for various air interfaces.
Methods
WinProp includes empirical and semi-empirical models (calibration with measurements possible), rigorous 3D ray-tracing models as well as the unique dominant path model (DPM).
Main Applications
In WinProp various air interfaces and applications are pre-defined: broadcasting, cellular, wireless access, WiFi, sensor networks, ICNIRP and EM compliance.
WinProp Utilities
The WinProp utilities consist of the Launcher utility and the Updater.
Appendix
Reference information is provided in the appendix.

Define Side View Tool

Use the Define side view tool to define the side view direction.

The Define side view tool is only available if the Top view tool is enabled.

Set the X-Y-position of the left edge of the side view window with the first mouse click and the right edge with the second click. TuMan calculates the zoom factor and displays the new projection of the tunnel axis in the side view window. TuMan also plots a projection of the side view direction in the top view window if the corresponding option in the View Settings dialog is set.
