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.
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.

Create Indoor Database with LEGO

The Lego tool provides a couple of easy to use functions for indoor database creation. The main idea is the generation of basic wall combinations (the so-called templates) describing typical database elements such as rectangular rooms, staircases and roofs The user-friendly graphical interface offers dialog based entry of fundamental template parameters (dimensions), post-creation editing possibilities (moving, scaling, rotating), the definition of any combination of database walls as a template, recombination possibilities for known templates and a program toolbar for fast selection of the tool to be used.

The LEGO toolbar can be found by default at the top side of the WallMan window.

Table 1. LEGO Tools
	Rectangular room		Roof
	L-shaped room		Stairs
	T-shaped room		Cylinder
	U-shaped room		Sphere
	S-shaped room		Staircase

To create a LEGO element, select a type from the LEGO toolbar and edit the values in the appearing dialog.

Figure 1. The Settings for room type L-Room dialog.

After closing the dialog with OK, WallMan shows the new element in the active 2D view. Double-clicking on the element changes between move and rotate mode. The element can be moved and rotated by clicking on it and moving the mouse.
