Genetic Algorithm

[Jiunboy]

Hi,

I've constructed a water dustribution system in MATLAB inp file, and i'm currently working on optimizing pump speed using Genetic Algorithm with mininum cost. The GA needs to read the data (head and flow) from the inp file.

Does anyone have an idea how do it?

Hi !

I Think, just use the EPANET dynamic link library (DLL) of functions from Programmer's Toolkit.
http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet/EN2toolkit.zip

use the ENgetlinktype to retrieve the research Pump
then ENgetlinkvalue from linktype=pump to retrieve flow
and for Head
1) i think you must create an node in exit of your pump
2) then retreiving the pressure at junction that you've created with ENgetnodevalue.

if you can develop your code in VB6 or in c just use them because it is easy to add .bas file or header file to your project.
but if you still wanna develope your code in .NET you have to change all of the decleartions to .NET format (ex: c#)
