Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (CASE)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for designing and maintaining a large number of navigation and flood-control structures. The Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (CASE) project was initiated to perform research and development (R&D) associated with development of computer-aided design/analysis tools for use in the design and analysis of these hydraulic structures. The goals of the CASE project include:

• Better design/analysis of Corps structures.
• Reduction in time required for design/analysis of Corps structures.
• Elimination of duplication of program development efforts.
• Organized and cost-effective approach for development of computer programs based on design engineer input.
• Professional engineering analysis and programming.
• Good documentation and software support.
