Design automation is of prime importance in civil engineering. The automated design system helps project designers to conduct engineering surveys efficiently, evaluate the geologic and climatic features of the construction site more fully, compile the project plans more quickly, and optimize construction scheduling.
An anvil is a large, heavy, metal environmental object with a flat top surface and a point on one end most frequently found on a sturdy block of wood or pedestal. An anvil is required for most Blacksmithing and Engineeringrecipes.
Cheap anvils made from inferior steel or cast iron, which are unsuitable for serious use, have been derisively referred to as ASOs, or anvil shaped objects. Amateur smiths have used a piece of railroad rail as a makeshift anvil.
