Installation Procedure Flowchart
Introductionary Remarks
Administrator Rights
Note: To be able to install the PreScan application and to install licenses, you need to have administrator
rights on the computer where the application is installed.
Multiple PreScan versions
Multiple PreScan versions may exist on your computer starting PreScan R5.2.0. Please take care you select
a new directory for your experiments such that the experiments created with the older version are not
overwritten.
Uninstall
PreScan can be uninstalled using 'Add or Remove Programs' in the Windows Control Panel or via the Start
Menu by selecting Uninstall PreScan.
It may happen that some files could not be deleted because they were in use by other programs during
uninstall. They need to be deleted manually.
PreScan License Model Summary
PreScan offers 2 types of licenses, viz.:

License
Description
Requires
Stand-alone
(nodelocked)
Allows end users to use PreScan on their own PC/laptop, even

when commuting or working at home.
- License code
- Flexnet license server
Network
(floating)
Allows end users to check out a license authorization from a

network server and check it back in when they are done. User must
stay connected to the network
- License code
- Installation of Flexnet
license server
PreScan licensed via a server (network license)
With an external license manager running on a server in a network, PreScan can run on multiple computers
which are part of this network. PreScan (and MATLAB) still need to be installed locally conform the system
requirements.
The license server keeps track of all PreScan licenses and handles requests from network users who want to
run PreScan, granting authorization to the requesters to allow them to run PreScan, and denying requests
when all licenses are in use. When one of the existing users exits PreScan, his license is freed and made
available for the next user.
It is possible for the PreScan application and the license manager to run on the same system. In this case the
network address of this system needs to be entered when installing the PreScan application in network license
mode.
Non-Western Installation
Installation Guide

Note: Please do not use non-western characters (e.g. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.) in the installation
path(s).
1.1 Installation Procedure

In this section, the installation procedure for PreScan 7.5.1 is described.
Before following the installation procedure, please read the Introductionary Remarks, and check if your system
fulfills the System Requirements.
The installation steps are visualized in section Installation Procedure Flowchart
The following steps should be followed when installing PreScan:
Step 1: Installation of MATLAB.
This is not mandatory but advised as first step if MATLAB is to be used for simulations. How this is done is
explained in MATLAB Installation.
Step 2: Obtaining and Installing a Prescan License
Obtain and install the Prescan License depending on the selected license scheme: either as a stand-alone
(node-locked) license or a network (floating) license.The difference is explained in Installation Guide PreScan License Model Summary.
Step 3: Installation of PreScan
Follow the steps described in Installation Procedure - PreScan. The information of the MATLAB installation
(step 1) and location of the License Server (step 2) is needed during this step.
Step 4: Improve Performance by Verification of System Settings
Step 5: Install any of the optional components or 3rd party products described in 3rd Party Products.
1.1.1
MATLAB
MATLAB and Simulink must be installed on the system if PreScan is to be used for simulation. If MATLAB/
Simulink has not yet been installed, install the product using the installation procedure as provided with the
MATLAB product.
Note 1: See System Requirements for the compatibility table between PreScan 7.5.1 and MATLAB/
Simulink.
Note 2: If you want to use dSPACE ControlDesk in combination with PreScan, the name of the MATLAB
installation directory must NOT contain space characters. Hence, do not install MATLAB in the Program
Files directory!
MATLAB path
If a previous PreScan installation was used on the PC, and the MATLAB path was modified using the 'Set
Path'-option under the File menu in MATLAB, it is possible that some references to old PreScan installation
paths exist in the MATLAB path. They should be manually removed using the 'Set Path'-option under the File
menu in MATLAB.
Installation Guide

How to use a network installation of MATLAB with PreScan
To be able to use a network installation of MATLAB together with PreScan, you have to make a copy of the
network installation of MATLAB to your local machine. After that, you can install PreScan and ControlDesk
and connect the two programs to the local copy of MATLAB.
A benefit of making a local copy of MATLAB for all users of the network license is that MATLAB uses in this
case the files on your local drive, therefore reducing network use and increasing speed.
Changing your MATLAB version

If you would like to change your MATLAB version, please use the PreScan GUI, General Settings.

PreScan 7.5.1 works with Flexera's FlexNet licensing tools. For set up please refer to Managing the License
Server for more information on how to set up the licensing mechanism. Important during installation is to add
the license server if not yet present. This is done by adding ";27000@<license server name>" or just ";
@<license server name>".
Add License Server
Note: By entering the license server, the installer will create the environment variable
MADLIC_LICENSE_FILE. PreScan will use the variable to identify where the license server is located.
Now indicate what the name is for PreScan in the Start Menu Folder.

1.1.3
Improve Performance by Verification of System Settings
This section describes how the performance of PreScan can be improved by verifying some System Settings.
Note: Video cards should receive regular updates of their drivers since it has been noted that bugs in the
drivers are the cause of wrong simulation results.
Check anti aliasing settings
Note: Anti-aliasing is of specific importance for white line detection with a camera system. Without
anti-aliasing, lines further away will 'flicker' (appear and disappear from view) whereas with anti-aliasing on
they will remain in view.
Installation Guide
14

Computer screens display images using a limited number of pixels. As a result, shapes (e.g. circles, lines)
show a irregularities at the edge. This jagged shape is known as aliasing or jaggies.
Using a technique called anti-aliasing we can suppress these jaggies. In practice, there is not much
improvement when going from an AA factor of 2 to 4 or higher. It is therefore advised to have a default setting of
2 which can be accessed through Settings -> Preferences -> Visualisation Settings. The chapter Visualization
Settings provides more info on anti-aliasing.
Note:
Make sure you close and then restart the visualization viewer in order for the change to take effect.
Furthermore, make sure your video card's anti-aliasing mode is application controlled as is shown here
in the NVIDIA Control Panel below.

1.2 Licensing
The licensing system used is Flexnet v11.6 from Flexera (http://www.flexerasoftware.com/ ). Different license
schemes are used. Please contact your local TASS office for further information.
This document contains information regarding the license system used to run TASS products. It refers to all
products; PreScan and the MADYMO product suite. The licensing tools are distributed via the regular installer.
In the rest of the documentation the following conventions are used:
- platformid: The platform identifier of the system. For example, em64t-win for Windows 64bit.
- installationdir: The full path of the directory where the PreScan product is installed, including the version.
Note: The TASS Flexnet licensing system has been upgraded to a higher security level. This software update
will require your Flexnet server and daemon files to be upgraded to Flexnet v11.6 or higher from January
1st, 2011. Flexnet server and daemon files are available in the PreScan distribution.
1.2.1
Licensing Set Up
Available License types

PreScan is licensed by the feature licenses which allows a specific PreScan module to run. A single license
for the given feature name is checked out when feature based licenses are used. The licensing mechanism
supports floating and node-locked floating licenses. No uncounted node-locked licenses are offered for native
PreScan licensing.
Obtaining a license
The various licenses for TASS products can be retrieved via your local sales representative. The tools,
applications, and libraries needed for the license server are part of the distribution and packaged in a separate
subdirectory. The directory is named installationdir/platformid/fnp.
Environment variables to be set

The MADYMO license server(s) has(have) to be specified by the MADLIC_LICENSE_FILE environment
variable. This environment variable is used by the applications to find the license server. When no license
server is specified via the environment variable, the license server defaults to port 26000 on the local machine
(26000@localhost). This is valid for both multiple stack and single stack licenses.
The environment variable MADLIC_QUEUE_MAX_MINUTES determines the time an application stays queued
if no licenses are available in batch mode. The variable has the following meaning:
If set to 0, no queuing takes place, the application will terminate
If not set, the application is queued for 60 minutes where each minute a check is done if licenses have
become available.
If set to any x >0, the application will queue for x minutes where each minute a check is done if licenses
have become available.
The License Server Manager

The license server manager, lmgrd, is one of two FLEXnet Licensing components that make up a license
Installation Guide
17

server system (the other being the vendor daemon). It handles the initial contact with PreScan application,
passing the connection on to the appropriate vendor daemon. The purpose of the license server manager,
lmgrd, is to:
Start and maintain all the vendor daemons listed in the VENDOR lines of the license file.
Refer application checkout (or other) requests to the correct vendor daemon, for example madlic.
A newer lmgrd can be used with an older vendor daemon, but a newer vendor daemon might not work properly
with an older lmgrd. Always use the newest version of lmgrd as possible, which is available for download from
http://www.flexera.com.
1.2.2
Managing the License Server
This section provides procedural information on how to configure and manage the License Server Manager as a
service.
1.2.2.1
Configuring the License Server Manager as a Windows Service
To configure a license server system as a service, you must have Administrator privileges.
To configure a license server system as a service:
1. Run the file lmtools.exe which can be found in the folder C:\Program Files\PreScan\PreScan_7.5.1\bin
2. Click the Configuration using Services button, and then click the Config Services tab.
3. In the Service Name, type the name of the service that you want to define, for example, PreScan license
server.
4. In the Path to the lmgrd.exe file field, enter or browse to lmgrd.exe for this license server system.
5. In the Path to the license file field, enter or browse to the license file for this license server system. A
default license file is prepared when using Consumable token licenses only. The PreScan version is
available in the installationdir\license\default.lic file, where installationdir refers to the location where
PreScan is installed. For example: C:\Program Files\PreScan\PreScan_7.5.1\bin
Note: The licenses are provided via the local sales representative.
6. In the Path to the debug log file, enter or browse to the debug log file that this license server system
writes. Prepending the debug log file name with the + character appends logging entries. The default
location for the debug log file is the c:\Windows\System32 folder. To specify a different location, make sure
you specify a fully qualified path. Note that the log file is not automatically created. It needs to be created by
hand.
7. Please check the boxes Use Services and Start Server at Power Up
8. To save the new PreScan license server service, click Save Service.

1.2.2.2
Manual Start from LMTOOLS
A graphical user interface to the license server manager tools is provided called LMTOOLS. Some of the
functions LMTOOLS performs include:
o
o
o
starting, stopping, and configuring FLEXnet license server systems

getting system information, including hostids
getting server status
In order to control the operation of lmgrd from the LMTOOLS user interface, you first must configure it as a
license server manager service. Follow the procedure in Configuring the License Server Manager as a Windows
Service before proceeding.
Once the license server manager service is configured, lmgrd is started by starting the service from the
LMTOOLS interface.
To start the service from the LMTOOLS interface:
1. Start LMTOOLS.
2.
Click Configuration using Services button.
3.
Select the service name from the list presented in the selection box. In this example, the service name
is PreScan license server.
4.
Click the Start/Stop/Reread tab.
5.
Start PreScan license server by clicking the Start Server button.
The PreScan license server system starts and writes its debug log output to the defined logfile.
Installation Guide
19

1.2.2.3
Starting the License Server Manager on Windows
In order for lmgrd, and hence the license server system, to start up automatically at system start-up time, you
first must configure it as a license server manager service. Follow the procedure in Configuring the License
Server Manager as a Windows Service before proceeding, and then continue with the steps below.
To configure lmgrd as a license manager service:
1.
With LMTOOLS started and the desired service name selected, click the Config Services tab.
2.
Make this license server manager a Windows service by selecting the Use Services check box
(otherwise, it becomes a FLEXnet Licensing service).
3.
Configure it to start at system startup time by selecting the Start Server at Power Up check box.
From now on, when the machine is rebooted, this license server manager starts automatically as a Windows
service
1.2.3
License Troubleshooting Guide
1. Make sure that your FLEXlm license server is the latest available version
2. The environment variable MADLIC_LICENSE_FILE or ALTAIR_LM_LICENSE_FILE should be set to
<portnumber>@<hostname>; portnumber is the connection port number of the license server, where
hostname is the name of the license server without the domain name. See the first line in the license file for
these details Note that the first hostname should be <portnumber>@localhost. This will enforce to look
locally on your system if the machine is detached from the network.
3. Considerable delays in start up of the applications have been noticed if the license file contains license
strings of which the end date has expired.
4. Considerable delays in start up of the applications have been noticed if nonexistent servers are assigned to
the MADLIC_LICENSE_FILE environment variables or even in the registry.
5. The questions below have been taken from the FLEXlm user guide and are important when you have
questions for TASS First Line Support:
What kind of machine is your license server running on?
What version of the operating system?
What machine and operating system is the application running on?
What version of FLEXlm does the FLEXlm-licensed application use? Use the lmver script, or, on Linux,
execute the following command on your lmgrd, vendor daemon, and application: strings binary_name |
grep copy. Alternatively, lmgrd -v gives the lmgrd version, and this works with the vendor daemon also.
o What error or warning messages appear in the log file?
o
o
o
o

Did the server start correctly? Look for a message such as: server xyz started for: feature1 feature2.
What is the output from running lmutil lmstat -a?
What is the output from running serveractutil view?
Are you running other products which are also licensed by FLEXlm?
Are you using a combined license file or separate license files?
Are you using a three-server redundant license server (multiple SERVER lines in your license file)?
6. Set the environment variable FLEXLM_TIMEOUT to 10000000. Its value is in microseconds and corresponds
to 10 seconds. As the name suggests it sets a timeout value of 10 seconds to contact the FLEXlm server.
This should be considered to be a last resort in case of failing license checkouts.
1.3 System Requirements for PreScan software
Hardware requirements
Processor:
Minimum required CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400, or equivalent.
Note: Due to the memory requirements of the application it is highly recommended to use 64bit systems
with at least 8GB of memory.
Minimal required amount of memory:

Windows 32 bit: 7/8.1: = 8GB
Windows 64 bit: 7/8.1: = 8GB

Installation Guide
22

corresponding GLSL. Most of the modern video cards do support OpenGL3.x. This is required for future
graphical effects as reflections.
Note 2: Integrated chipsets (eg. Intel HD graphics) have in general a very limited specification due to
which the PreScan viewer may fail to run or results are incorrect. The use of systems with this type of
graphics hardware is discouraged.
Screen Resolution:
In order to have a correct view of scenarios, menus and 3D view, a minimum screen resolution of
1280x1024 pixels is required.
Note: Remote desktop can not be used in combination with PreScan 3D Visual Viewer. The application
may block or crash in an attempt to do so.
Software requirements
Supported OS:
o Windows 32bit: XP/Vista/7
o Windows 64bit: XP/Vista/7
Note 1: It is possible to install PreScan 32bit on a 64bit platform. This enables the coupling of PreScan
with 3rd party software only delivered as 32bit installer. It is however highly recommended to use PreScan
64bit on a 64bit platform if there is no direct need to use the 32bit version.
Note 2: Both the 32bit version and the 64bit version of a PreScan release should not be installed on the
same system.

Note 1: PreScan is compatible with Windows 7 & 8.1 for the user profiles Administrator and User. It is
not compatible with the profile Guest, due to file restrictions.
Note 2: The above mentioned MATLAB versions are the only MATLAB releases tested in combination with
PreScan.
Note 3: For 64-bit platforms an additional requirement needs to be fulfilled to correctly run some of the
demo examples delivered with PreScan. A C compiler does not come standard with Simulink/Stateflow for
64-bit platforms. The presence of a compiler can be verified by executing mex setup in a MATLAB
command window. In general, the appropriate version of the Express Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio with
the accompanying Platform SDK will suffice. Please note that some C compilers will also require the .NET
framework 4.0 to be installed on your PC. This can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/
download/details.aspx?id=17851
Please refer to The MathWorks documentation for supported compilers for your version of Simulink:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/current_release/win64.html
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/previous_releases.html
http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/preparing-for-64-bit-windows.html
Note 4: Collision detection is not correctly working for MATLAB 2010b. This is due to incompatibilities
with the Java Runtime Environment as used by MATLAB 2010b.
Note 5: In MATLAB 2012b a new SLX format for Simulink is introduced. PreScan does not support this
format, but supports the MDL format instead.
Note 6: MATLAB 2011a, MATLAB 2012 (a/b) and MATLAB 2013a ship a Java archive file that conflicts
with the PreScan installation. To solve the conflict where Simulink crashes, MATLAB's static java class
path needs to be changed:
- Edit the following file with administrator rights (please do not use Notepad due to wrong line ending
represenation! Wordpad is ok):
<matlabroot>\toolbox\local\classpath.txt
- Look for the following line:
$matlabroot/java/jarext/protobuf.jar
- Change the line into:
# $matlabroot/java/jarext/protobuf.jar
Note 7: When saving a Simulink model from MATLAB 2010a to MATLAB 2012b+, Simulink may report
Installation Guide

warnings about conflicting Simulink internal identifiers (SID). See MATLAB bug report http://
www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/887786. Please backup the original model, and then save and
reopen the model or you can also execute the following MATLAB script to turn off the warning:
warning('off','Simulink :ID:DuplicateSID')
