Abstract

The problem of absence of specific computer-aided design systems for designing nozzle layout in secondary cooling sections of the continuous casting machine in the view of existence of the mathematical models that could help in searching for optimal nozzle layout design is stated. Results of the requirements analysis for computer-aided design system for designing nozzle layout in secondary cooling sections of the continuous casting machine are presented and possible scenarios of interaction between user and system are outlined. The structure of input and output data is developed, and finally the high-level schematic diagram of the system is constructed. Obtained results constitute the analytical basis for developing such system.
