Automated Design Process

Previously Accomplished Work

Summer 2008

Throughout the Summer 2008 term, important changes were made to our automated design algorithms to make them more effiecient and user friendly. We've also worked to incorporate a shallow plant design into our Automated Design Programs. This Shallow Plant Design allows for decreased construction costs, but also created the need for a new sedimentation tank inlet design.

Spring 2008

During the Spring 2008 semester significant advances were made to the design alogrithms by the Unit Processes team and the Hydraulic Design team. The work of each of these teams began linking towards the end of the Spring 2008 semester in order to create a single Automated Design Program and during the Summer 2008 term nearly all of the drawing programs have been linked to the design programs in the Master Program.

Fall 2007

Throughout the 2007/2008 academic year the automated AutoCAD drawing has also advanced to reflect the current plant design with newer design changes updated by the Spring 2008 AutoCAD team.
