Did You Know?

That the Delaware River Basin Commission has released an updated modeling tool that allows the public to test water management scenarios and compare their outcomes? The Delaware River Basin-Planning Support Tool provides interested stakeholders with the ability to test flow management scenarios against a set of existing targets, regulations, and laws that govern the use of water within the Delaware River Basin. The tool will show users how those scenarios would change an array of outcomes, including the amount of water available for drinking supplies, downstream releases, habitat protection, flood mitigation, and more. Additional information can be found on the commission's web site.

"Parametric parts give you the flexibility to create a single 3D model for a part family that can be updated to represent multiple part sizes. You simply create a 3D model of the part, and assign variables, or parameters, to control its shape and size. In this way you can define millions of parts through a single model.

Considering how beneficial it is to create pipe network shapes, a team of engineers and programmers started their own Parametric Parts, a web-based platform that allows consumers to customize, download, and print models, and allows designers to create models with a fluent API called CadQuery and make profit with it." ~ 3ders.org
