Virtual prototyping of designed extended pipeline, integrated in the city water supply network

One of the main problems of urban water supply is the design of new extended pipelines (EP), built into the existing urban water supply network. The problem arose due to the aging of existing networks and the incorporation into the existing urban environment of a significant number of new apartment buildings and the consequent impossibility of providing consumers with a normalized amount of water through the existing network. Moreover, a significant part of the design time is taken by the design of the pipeline route and the determination of its parameters. The paper presents an enlarged algorithm and the main fragments of the developed software for computer-aided design, integrated into the Unity3D environment in order to provide design organizations with tools for visualizing the EP route, its parameters, and optimizing the EP. Its application will provide a significant reduction in design time and optimization of EP.
