An automatic design system for a hydraulic gate has been developed to cut down the time for the design calculation and to optimize its design. It is oriented to the radial gate which is the simplest, most reliable, least expensive and most widely used hydraulic gate. This system is composed of data input, strength computation and result display modules with databases of the properties of components and materials. In this development, the existing intricate design procedure has been changed to the straightforward procedure without assumption of weight. With this code, the design time of the radial gate could be reduced below one thirtieth in comparison with manual work and the optimum design could be accomplished easily.
