The aim is to model comparable cases in these networks and then compare their simulation results. For each case within a project, you create a separate scenario. You then modify each scenario to meet the requirements of the respective case. Then you configure the desired evaluations and run simulations for the scenarios whose simulation results you want to compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scenario = base network + all related modifications applied consecutively<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you load a scenario in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptvgroup.com\/en\/products\/ptv-vissim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PTV Vissim<\/a>, it takes the base network and applies all modifications in the specified order. There is no separate network file (inpx) for the scenario unless you export it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A change into the base network = change for all scenarios. It is not recommended to make changes to the base network unless you are sure, that desired changes do not conflict with the modifications (e.g. deleting a link in the base network would not allow to put a signal head on it by a modification created before the base network change).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tech note: It can be helpful to know that modifications save the new state of an object, not the operation that was applied to get there. For example: if you move a link from A to B then the new position B is saved in the modification M, not the translation vector \u201cB-A\u201d. This makes a difference if \u2013 for example \u2013 later you move the entire network. Adding modification M to the new base network will still show the link at the absolute position B, not at the new base network position plus (B-A).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-building-up-the-scenarios\">Building up the scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways of building up the scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing modifications first, then using them as building blocks for scenario definition<br><em>This is advantageous and needed if many scenarios are to be built and they share certain modifications.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building up scenarios naturally by adding and editing the network. Each scenario gets unique modifications.<br><em>Usable for a small number of independent scenarios = scenarios don\u2019t have many common parts except the base network.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e86e369ef30&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e86e369ef30\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"240\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Modification.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28539\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Modification.png 711w, https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Modification-640x216.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.ptvgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Modification-300x101.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Vissim allows you to perform a check if two modifications are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combinable or \u2026 can I use them both together in my scenario?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Independent \u2026 can I use just one of them without the other one in my scenario?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform such a check, simply go to the project structure window, table modifications, then select two modifications and click on the correspondent button on the right of the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-principles-of-good-practice\">&nbsp;Principles of good practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prepare the base network carefully before you start to develop scenarios.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not change the base network unless you want a change for all scenarios, and you are sure that this change will not conflict with any modification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Separate modifications logically.
