Extactly what i was thinking about.
As always the theorical part of the program will be done in a few days.
The big and tiring part will be the user interface
Here's a brief - XML plugins for each component, Java / Swing GUI, hidden database (if needed, i'll see if we can solve everything with XML components)
The GUI will allow sequential placement of elements, ie pump->tube section->rad->splitter etc..
The sequential placement will be a grid-type, even columns being elements and odd colums being tube sections (or elbows, splitters...)
This is just a quick brainstorm. As i said i need to think carefully about it. One must not rush a software project at design stage
