Sistema computacional de auxilio ao desenho, simulação e desenvolvimento de projetos de irrigação localizada

Abstract

Computational system aid for drawing, simulation and development of localized irrigation projects The main objective of this work was to develop a software, denominated CADDHIL, to support drawing, simulation and design of localized irrigation projects with AutoCAD program. Auto Lisp and Delphi languages were used in the program construction, that allows the drawing, automatic calculations procedures and simulations for several situations in the project stage. The program allows the selection and calculation the emitter type, drip emitter or spray emitter, depth of water to be delivery to irrigation crop, design of lateral, manifold and main pipeline. In lateral pipeline design two methods were proposed: the step by step and the hydraulic one. In the manifold pipeline design, the section method was used. In the main pipeline design the economic method of the simplified total annual cost was used. The data of the irrigation project are saved in a database that can be accessed at any moment. The software presents auxiliary tables with data of friction coefficients, inside diameters and tools for hydraulic calculations, usually used in projects of localized irrigation.
