Hello my friends,
I´m from Ecuador and I feel great about joining this Forum
I´m doing an investigation about Optimized Design of Sanitary and Water Networks with Watercad and Sewercad, respectively. I`m not sure about What algorithm Sewecad used to perform an Optimized Design. I know, for example, Watercad uses the Genetics Algorithm for do it, using the tool Darwing Design. Additionally, I also know that for an optimized design in Sewercad, I use the alternative design and specify Design Constraint, but I don´t know how sewercad do it? What algorithm does it use? I uses Genetics Algorithm too?....I need information about that, answers, books, web sites, whatever that can help me in my investigation.
Thanks for your answers.
Thank you for your answer Dr. Tom Walski, I read the documented called "Design priorities". I have a question, you say that SewerCad uses a heuristic method to design sewers, specifically Which heuristic method does Sewercad use? Is there any document that talks about it?
For example WaterCad uses Genetic Algorithm, but I don´t know for SewerCad.
Thank you for your answer
