General Program Information

This program draws couplings in every other channel of the flocculator. Since drains must always be put in the first and last channels of the flocculator, in the event of an even number of channels, there will be two drains placed contiguously in the channels closest to the entrance tank. This code is the same for horizontal and vertical flocculators.

Technical Program Outline

1) A new layer "flocdraincoupling" is created.

2) The tank is viewed from the right side.

3) Couplings are iteratively drawn in every other channel according to a y-coordinate array defined in flocculator 3. The couplingIDsliptothread* function defined in the coupling program is used to draw the coupling.* Since the coupling draws the slip side of the coupling at the coordinate specified, the coupling is drawn outwards from the inner wall of the floctank.

4) The tank is viewed from the top and the "flocdraincoupling" layer is frozen.
