Research on Automatic Design System for Long Distance Water Transmission Steel Pipes

This paper aims to achieve the automatic design of long-distance water transmission steel pipes through the development of a system using AutoLisp programming language. The Tianxingba Reservoir Water Diversion Project is taken as an example for case study. The automatic design system for long-distance water transmission steel pipes described in this paper comprises three core modules: pipeline horizontal and vertical optimization and hydraulic calculation module, steel pipe structure calculation module, and engineering quantity calculation module. The pipeline horizontal and vertical optimization and hydraulic calculation module can automatically optimize the pipeline and perform hydraulic calculations based on terrain data and design parameters. The steel pipe structure calculation module automatically verifies the steel pipe structure based on the hydraulic calculation results and the pipeline laying type. The engineering quantity calculation module can automatically calculate the steel pipe engineering quantity and the earthwork excavation and backfill engineering quantity for pipeline laying. Through the collaborative work of these three modules, automatic data extraction, automatic parameter calculation, and automatic result output can be achieved for the automatic design of long-distance water transmission steel pipes.
