Introduction

Structured systems design and structured systems analysis of Engine information system software. This article contains structure chart, data flow diagrams of EIS. Processed information about engine measurement and performance these include physical measurement that is geometrical dimension of engine such as cylinder diameter, length of piston stroke, cylinder volume and engine ratings such as efficiency, horsepower, compression ratio, heat balance sheet. Structure chart of EIS for a function-oriented design the design can be represented graphically by structure charts. The structure of a program is made up of the modules of that program to gather interconnections between modules. Every computer program has a structure it’s structure can be determined by the structure chart of a program is a graphic representation of it’s structure. In a structure chart module is represented by module name written in the box. The functional module of a system (Either the problem domain or the solution domain) can be represented by a Data flow diagram (DFD). Data flow-based modeling is often referred to as the structured analysis technique that uses function-based decomposition while modeling to problem. It focuses on the function performed in the problem domain and the data consumed and produced by these functions. It is a top-down refinement approach which was originally called structured analysis specification and was proposed for producing the specification. System designing includes module designing which are described in structure chart and data flow diagrams. Designing input this is data entry section this is concerned to logic of the program what data has to be entered in the input fields example engine number, no of cylinders, cylinder bore diameter etc. these are input fields. Designing output this section gives the computed results reports are part of the designing output section. The outputs are calculated results set of gathered sorted information reports graphs etc. EIS gives reports of engine measurement and performance such as geometrical dimensions, horsepower, efficiency, compression ratio and heat balance sheet. 

2. Structure chart 

2.1. Modelling 

Structure chart SC in software engineering is a chart which shows the breakdown of system to its lowest manageable levels. They are used in structured programming to arrange programming modules into tree. Each module is represented by a box which contains module name.  The tree structure visualizes the relationships between modules.  The structure chart is top down modular.  Design tool constructed of squares representing the different modules in the system and lines that connect them.  In structure analysis structure charts are used to specify the high-level design or architecture of a computer program. Computer program is usually a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task. Programmers use a structure chart to build a program in a manner similar to how an architect uses a blueprint to build a house. Represent hierarchical structure of modules. It breaks down the entire system into lowest functional modules to describe functions and sub-functions of each module of a system to a greater detail. Structure Chart partitions the system into black boxes (functionality of the system is known to the users but inner details are unknown). Inputs are given to the black boxes and appropriate outputs are generated. Modules at top level are called modules at low level. Components are read from top to bottom and left to right. When a module calls another, it views the called module as black box, passing required parameters and receiving results. Structure diagrams are all diagrams that model a static component of a system where data changes but not the structures of the elements and their relationships with each other. Data objects are either produced or consumed by the system. During the evaluation and solution synthesis the analyst creates modules of the systems in an effort to understand data and control flow functional processing and operational behavior.  These models serve as foundation for software design as the basis of creations of software specifications area of effort is specification. Software requirement specification is document and is producing the functional behavior architectural interface and performance related requirement of the user.

2.3.1. Add module 

This program module adds the records to database after processing engine’s information. “Add” is having many fields engine number cylinder bore diameter, length of the stroke etc. Data has to be entered in these fields after entering the required data into fields “Add” program computes engine performance send the output to database.  Processed records are stored in database file.

2.3.10. Heat balance Sheet   

This module gives information about total heat utilized. The heat produced inside the engine cylinder is not fully utilized to do the external work. Some of the heat is carried away by the engine cooling system, exhaust gases and radiation. These heat losses reduce the thermal efficiency of the engine. Frictional losses are also there which consume about 10% of the total heat produced. About 20% of the heat produced is utilized for turning the wheels. During a specified period (usually a minute), the total heat produced inside the cylinder must be equal to the sum of the various heat losses that are utilized for useful work. All these items, when recorded in a tabular form, constitute what we call a heat balance sheet. See table 1. 

3. Data flow diagram 

 

Data flow diagram illustrates how data is processed by a system in terms of inputs and outputs. As it’s name indicates, it focuses on the flow of information where data comes, where data goes, where it stores. They are graphical representation of data flow through a system or sub system used to model information system are used to graphically represent the flow of data in an information system describes the process that is involved in a system to transfer data from the input to the file storage and reports generation 

3.1 Software requirement analysis 

 

It is the process of collecting, understanding, modeling and documenting the software requirements which are essential to

develop high quality software. Mostly the software engineer is responsible for the task of software   requirement analysis but in case of complex system this task is performed by the specialist commonly referred to as system analyst. It is the job of system analyst to extract exact requirements from the particular area of automotive engineering and specify them in a manner in which these requirements can be translated into design.
