TEXAS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

THE TEXAS HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (THYSYS) IS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF HYDRAULICALLY ORIENTED COMPUTER ROUTINES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE SOLUTION OF HIGHWAY HYDRAULIC PROBLEMS. INPUT AND OUTPUT ARE GEARED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT. THE INPUT FORMS PRESENT TO THE USER ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS IN A FAMILIAR DESCRIPTION THAT ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A HIGH DEGREE OF ENGINEERING SOPHISTICATION BY THE USER. THE OUTPUT FORMAT MAY BE EASILY ADJUSTED TO CONFORM TO THE NEEDS OF ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION. THYSYS IS COMPOSED OF A MAIN DRIVER SYSTEM AND FIVE BASIC SUBSYSTEMS: DISCHARGE DETERMINATION, CHANNEL ANALYSIS, STRUCTURE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, SEWER ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, AND PUMP STATION ANALYSIS AND DESIGN. A UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE ABILITY TO ITERATE CHANGING ITEMS WITHOUT SCANNING THE ENTIRE ARRAY. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIVE SUBSYSTEMS ARE DESCRIBED BRIEFLY. REMOTE TERMINAL ACCESS IS AVAILABLE.
