Principles of operation of the program

You model your network in Vissim in a network editor. The network editor shows the precise position of the network objects. By default, you edit the data for the network objects in lists. For editing, you can use, for example, mouse functions, context menus and key combinations.

Note: A good knowledge of Windows is assumed for the operation of the program.

Tip: For your first steps in Vissim you can use simple example data, which were installed with Vissim. By default, the example data are stored under:

Users\Public\Public Documents\PTV Vision\PTV Vissim 11\Examples Demo\

The tutorial Getting Started will help you gain a first insight into working with Vissim. By default, the tutorial is saved under C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\PTV Vision\PTV Vissim 11\Tutorial First Steps
