This section contains a step-by-step instruction for getting started as easily as possible with the sample tasks.

 

SOAP server

 

Run Fleetengine.exe in the Binary folder. Click the "Start" button.

Run FE_CSharp_Test.exe in the C# folder.

Navigate to the input file ..\Sample Problems\c101\c101.xml.

Set the output file name.

Click Start button.

Desktop optimizer

 

Run FleetEngineDesktop.exe in the Binary folder.

Navigate to the input file ..\Sample Problems\c101\c101.xml.

Edit the output file name if needed.

Click OK button.

Now watch as the optimization improves the solution. Very soon (after ~10 sec) a cost of 100828 has been reached. This is the same as the optimum solution.

Click the Stop / Abort button

Start fexml2gis.exe in the binary folder. Locate the input file. Output file is automatically setup, edit if needed. Choose MIF / SHP / TAB as output format.

Click the "Write to GIS" button.

If you choose SHP and have ArcGIS 10 installed, you can open the mxd document and see the result.

If you choose TAB and have MapInfo installed, you can open the workspace and see the result.

 

You can do a similar experiment with this file: "..\sample problems\tiger\sample.xml". Just change the input/output file names.
