Damnasht

Damnasht is a small-sized hydraulics application whose main purpose is to aid individuals in drawing flow nets for sheet piles, as the name hints at.

The setup process is not a prerequisite, as this product is portable. As a consequence, the Windows registry is not going to be affected at all, without first prompting you.

In addition to that, it is possible to take Damnasht anywhere with you and run it on any computer you come across, by simply copying the program files to a removable storage unit.

The interface you are met with can only be described as plain and simple, as it only encompasses a menu bar, a few buttons, some boxes and slider bars, and a pane in which to display the resulted model. No Help contents are included, yet this utility can still be used by anybody, regardless of their previous experience with computers. Nonetheless, you should keep in mind that it does require some specialized knowledge.

This utility requires you to input a few parameters, namely soil depth, sheet pile length, upstream head, downstream head, soil saturated and water specific weight, in order to generate the sheet pile flow net model you need.

In a matter of moments, the chart is going to be displayed in the main window along with the value of the shape factor and the critical point (shown in gray). With the help of the slider bars aforementioned, you can easily adjust the flow net lines and tune, so that you can be sure you receive the results that interest you.

The computer’s performance is not going to be affected in any way, as the CPU and memory usage is low at all times. The response time is good, the interface is minimal and clean, and we did not encounter any kind of hangs or errors.

All things considered, Damnasht is a pretty efficient piece of software when it comes to generating drawing flow nets for sheet piles.
