“…This demonstrates that the present model does not have the same sensibility to parameter alteration as the one developed by Costa and Rodrigues (2021). It is important to highlight that most of the values of other parameters is defined by the streets layouts, such as, for instance, the medium width of the street (ws) and its variation percentage (vt), not being necessary a lot of effort from the user to define them.…”

“…The last stage of the model consists of converting the information related to nodes and pipes into an INP file. According to Costa and Rodrigues (2021), this extension is the native format of EPANET and describes the network topology. This structure is explained in detail in Rossaman (2000).…”

“…The real layout of the streets used as a first case study was published by Rodrigues et al (2019) and also used as a case study by Costa and Rodrigues (2021) to demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm developed by them. Figure 9 illustrates the design of the layout built on the CAD environment, which must be saved as a DXF file to be read by the proposed algorithm.…”

“…Conversely, Costa and Rodrigues (2021) built a model capable of converting CAD-designed layouts into binary images. Using a set of algorithms dedicated to processing binary images for the automatic generation of a WDN in an EPANET input file, the model's case studies consisted of one hypothetical layout and one real one.…”

This paper puts forth a dedicated algorithm for automatic generation of water distribution networks based solely on street layouts designed in a CAD environment. In the model, any detected street boundaries are converted into lines that are subjected to a mathematical treatment via parametric representation. These central street lines are extended to generate intersections, which are then used to determine the location of the network’s nodes and later the pipes connecting the nodes. Two different layouts were used to ascertain the efficacy of the model, one hypothetical and one real. The algorithm was considered to yield satisfactory results as it automatically generated the entire grid plan in an EPANET input file for both layouts.
