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.

  • Jesus,

    I think we have given you as much information about the method as we can. The design priorities document that I uploaded for you above is what we have that describes heuristic design algorithm that SewerCAD uses. As Dr. Walski stated, "It is just a set of checks and adjustments that mimic what a practicing engineer would do when laying out a gravity conduit.".
