SewerCad V8i: Automatic Design

SeweCad V8i can perform an Constraint based Automatic Design. It uses a design algorithm that attempts to minimize pipe size and excavation, which is typically the most expensive part of installing sewer piping and structures. My question is, What kind of algorithm does SewerCad use for to perform an Automatic Design?,     I mean, what is the name? Is heuristic? Where can I find information about it? literature, books, etc.

Thank you for your answers.

  • Mark,

    I read the document again, I understand the priorities that the algorithm used, also you tell me that the design problem is solved with an iterative process. I mean, the design alghorithm is an heuristic method that solves the problem throught  an interactive process, using the priorities are in the document.

    I will try to find more information about the heuristic method used.

    Thanks for your answer and for you time.
