Specific creation features of the house heating automated design system

Abstract

This article analyzes specific creation features of automated design system. The creation tasks of the house heating automated design system are solved with Unified Modeling Language. Graphical system can select types of radiators and valves, design pipes and specification. It discerns objects-classes: radiator, valve, pipe and specification, which have some properties and methods that ease programmer’s work. House geometry and desirable temperature is known. First, program selects geometry parameters of radiators from radiators database by using ActiveX Data Objects technology, which by programming method connects drawing and database. Drawing’s graphical objects have additional data from which exchange of data between graphical system and database is executed. Second, program selects diameters of pipes from standard pipes database by using programming object’s pipe properties and methods. Third, the program, knowing radiators’ and pipes’ geometry, designs house heating system. Design system and example of the house heating project is presented. Specific creation features of the house heating automated design system are discussed and conclusions are made.
