TPL-PCRUN is a software program for the dynamic interaction simulation of pantograph-catenary systems. In the benchmark, based on the finite element method, the catenary model was built and the pantograph was considered as a three-level spring-damper-mass system. Then, through the contact definition between pantograph and catenary, the coupled model of the pantograph and catenary system was established. The respective dynamic equations of motions were solved by the time integration method. Thus, the simulation results were obtained and submitted for the comparison with the other software. On the other hand, a standard model from EN50318 was established and analysed by TPL-PCRUN. The simulation results by TPL-PCRUN were remarkably consistent with the reference values given by EN50318. It was proved that the results by TPL-PCRUN can be reliable. Recently, the software has been updated and improved. Some new models and algorithms are proposed, including the rigid-flexible hybrid pantograph model, contact definition considering appearance characteristics of the contact surfaces, a fluid-solid coupling algorithm of the pantograph and catenary system, etc.
