Water supply networks are important tools to ensure health and welfare. However, the process of designing these structures involves activities with very time consuming and repetitive steps. In order to reduce the time spent, ensuring quality and efficiency of the final project, the computer programs have acquired importance in space and engineering projects. UFC3 program is computer code developed in languagesAutoLISP, VBA (Visual Basic of Applications) and VB (Visual Basic), which has graphics capabilities to assist in developing projects within the AutoCAD environment. UFC3 was developed to help the process of drawing water distribution networks, enabling the automatic introduction of connections as well as the characteristic information of each node (pressure, elevation and hydraulic head), calculate the quantitative network, to generate a spreadsheet showing the results for parts. In addition, the program draws the longitudinal profile of water mains, including piezometric lines and maximum and minimum energy grade lines. In general, the connections are inserted automatically by the program, except for the cap. The sheets and quantitative results generated by the program can be exported to Excel, facilitating the acquisition of the design hystory and network budget.
