SluiceCAD Software Development (SluiceCAD)

The concept of Computer Aided Design (CAD) occured long time ago, with the development of computer hardware and software, CAD softwares perform much better, at last, it builds in standard industry criterion. Editing new softwares on the ground of the CAD software for special purposes is the needs of all designing fields. We do well In the last years, especially in the fields of civil construction and mechanism, it is really not better than we think in water conservancy field. For developing the water conservancy CAD software, I edit SluiceCAD software on the ground of AutoCAD software, it is written by means of VB, VC, etc., it can be used as a special sluice software, as well, we can get some inspiration from the software!The software mainly includes two parts as follows:One is retaining wall program, it is written by VB program language, by means of VBA technology, it can save sketch and result as a file of Excel, as well, drawing construction and steel-bar sketch is the functions of retaining wall program. It's functions can include five aspects, computing the stability of retaining wall, checking the intension of wall, calculating steel-bar area, saving the result, drawing, etc.Another is sluice-house program, it is written by VC program language and Object ARX, drawing in AutoCAD is the important function, It's functions can include four aspects, calculating the flux of weir, figuring out the stability of sluice-house, computing the internal force and steel-bar area of sluice soleplate, drawing, etc.This software has been applied in some projects, and performs well, especially, retaining wall program is awarded second-class of science and technology advancement in water conservancy department of Henan province. To some extent, though it is limited in applying scope, it still improves work efficiency at least 50 percent. It will be modified better and better in the future.
