We have developed several expert systems for use by the civil engineering industry over the past 7 years, including: WINDLOADER, a PC based e.s. for interpreting the Australian Wind Loading Code (AS1170.2) - over 130 copies sold since launch 12 months ago. Uses Crystal shell. WOL, an es to help the local water and sewerage authority (MMBW) interpret alarm responses from automatic pump stations on the sewerage and water supply networks for Melbourne. Originally written in Prolog - continuing development by MMBW now in Nexpert Object. EBWES, an electron beam welder expert system (mainly used for aeronautical components) to help reduce set up time and improve welding quality for Hawker de Havilland. Originally using our own Prolog shell, and now by HdeH using a commercial shell. WATERPEN, a graphically based es for water penetration through windows and building joints (prototype only). In Prolog. NOISEXPT, a noise es system for predicting noise for high speed trains - currently being used in studies of the Melbourne-Sydney VFT (design speed 350 km/h). In Crystal for PCs. BCAider, a PC based es currently under development for the Building Code of Australia - commercial release around April 1991. Being developed under KnowledgePro and MS Windows 3.0. Expected market size several thousand.
