EtFlocSedFi

EtFlocSedFi file (located in the ADT Designs file within Final Designs) is the central file where values are inputted, functions are called, and parameters are returned and displayed. EtFlocSedFi is the driver of the automated design program and calls the functions that define the individual pieces of the plant, and the functions that write the scripts to draw the plant.
