To run TopoFusion's trail simulator follow these steps:

• Download The current TopoFusion Demo.
• Install TopoFusion.
• Using the directory viewer, navigate to the "TopoFusion\sample tracks\Networks" directory.
• Double click on "StarrPass-Simulation.gpx" in the directory viewer.
• Remove all active files from the file view window. Ensure StarrPass-Simulation is the only file that is loaded and active.
• Select the menu option Network->Trail Simulation
• Using the form that pops up, start the simulation.

Be sure to have elevation shading enabled for tracks so you can watch the distribution of trail encounters evolve as the simulation proceeds.

If you would like to run a trail simulation on your own data, see Running your own Simulations.

For users of the full version of TopoFusion you can:

• Download Starr Pass Network file.
• If you'd like non-random use data, Download auxiliary network information file. (OPTIONAL).
• Place the two files (StarrPass-Simulation.tgf and StarrPass-Simulation.txt) in the same directory.
• Follow the above steps on the downloaded file(s).

NOTE-This feature of TopoFusion is provided "AS IS". The simulator is still in its beta phase and is being provided to users of TopoFusion for their curiosity.
