Master Program

The Master Program is the driver of the automated design program. It is the central file where values are inputted, functions are called, and parameters are returned and displayed. The Master Program calls the functions written by the Hydraulic Design, Unit Processes, and AutoCAD Teams. These individual programs are used to determine the designs on the plant and specific parameters are outputted so the user can understand the design and the AutoCAD Programs can draw the designed plant.

Although work is in progress to incorporate LabVIEW as the tool to allow access of our program to the end user, right now the master program is the main page for the design team to test and develop the automated design program.
