AutoCAD Goals and Accomplishments

At the beginning of each academic term, the AutoCAD team discusses previous work and future goals. Below, links are given to show how the team has progressed from semester to semester.

Summer 2008 Goals

Summer 2008 Goals

1. Training - Alissa Diminich will be conducting training sessions to introduce the methods of coding and documentation that are used.  These session will/can cover MathCAD programming used for Design and AutoCAD programs, using the Aguaclara wiki, and some basics of AutoCAD.
2. Documentation - AutoCAD programs written in previous semesters need to be fully documented for ease of future use, it is estimated that between 80-120 hours of work is required to sufficiently complete this goal.
3. Wiki - The AguaClara site must be kept up to date with any program, goal, or accomplishment changes.
4. AutoCAD - The current Flocculation Tank and Chemical Stock Tank Programs need to be reworked to handle changes made to the format of input data.  Also the AutoCAD inputs file needs to be updated for changes made to variable names from the Design Files

The specific documentation goals for Nicole Gumbs are given below. Also, a Mid-Semester meeting has been scheduled during the week of July 11 to reanalyze goals for the semester.

The specific documentation goals for Sarah Stodter are given below. Also, a Mid-Semester meeting has been scheduled during the week of July 11 to reanalyze goals for the semester.

Spring 2008 Goals

What we will accomplish:

• Incorporate units into programs
• Update previous semesters scripts including documentation
• Resolve resolution problem
• Create lamella/baffle scripts
• Add details such as wall connectors, storage shed, sedimentation tank frames etc.
• Continue looking into eliminating the need for text scripts

Fall 2007 Accomplishments

The AutoCAD team created MathCAD files with the ability to draw most major components of the plant. These include:

• Pipes and Pipe Connectors
• Grit Chamber with outlet pipes
• Flocculation Tank
• Channel leading from Flocculation Tank to Sedimentation Tank
• Sedimentation Tank with inlet and outlet pipes
• Plant Level Tank with inlet and outlet pipes
• Plant Platform
• Chemical Platform and Chemical Tanks
