Mouse Icon Home Tab > Input Panel > General Tank Data

Lets you define details about the basic characteristics of the tank.

  • The Tank Data Tab (General Tank Data)specifies the overall characteristics of the tank. For each input cell, a descriptive comment defines the expected input. Where applicable, the expected units display to the right of the input cell.

  • The Shell Courses Tab (General Tank Data) displays a grid where the height, thickness, corrosion allowance, material name, material design stress, and material test stress can be specified for each shell course. The material and its properties specified on this tab are used as default values for all of the shell courses. You can use the options on this tab to change the material, if necessary, on a course-by-course basis.

  • The Wind Details Tab (General Tank Data) defines detailed wind parameters specific to ASCE #7. If these times are not defined, TANK uses the recommended API 650 defaults.

  • The Anchor Bolt and Gusset Details Tab (General Tank Data) defines the data necessary for the software to design anchorage, if necessary. API-650 Section 5.12 defines a number of different cases which must be evaluated (depending on the tank), and may result in the design of required anchorage.
