Enhancement of Existing Engineering Software. Volume 4. Brass-Geometry UserDocumentation

摘要

Often, a traditional design procedure is used wherein a designer sketches resultswhich are based on computer applications and transmits this information via hardcopy to a drafter, who re-enters it into a CAD system. The inefficiencies are clear and an obvious opportunity exists for productive grain. Recently, an existing design application, BRASS-GEOMETRY used for the computation of screed elevation and horizontal geometry for straight bridges and curved bridges. The technical aspects of the program were written and are maintained by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WDT). Using the UWGRAPH library, the University of Wyoming linked the program with additional procedures to automatically produce CAD files.
