The input data must be validated through the Error Checker before the analysis phase is allowed to begin. The Error Checker prevents illegal or illogical data from being passed to the analysis program. The software always considers warning messages as acceptable and allows you to continue with your analysis of the tank vessel. If you disagree with the warning message or it raises concern, you should consider it as an error and modify the input accordingly prior to analyzing the TANK job.

The Error Checker performs the following tasks:

  • Checking for negative values where only positive values are allowed

  • Ensuring that the corrosion allowance does not drive the thickness to zero

  • Checking for API code restrictions

To perform an error check of the TANK input data

  1. Select Error Check/Analyze from the Home > Analyze panel.

    TANK opens the Output Processor.

  2. Review the error checking and analysis options. For more information, see Use the Output Processor.

    1. If the Error Checker does not find errors, the software performs the analysis. The software color-codes any special notes or warnings found during analysis in the generated reports to make them easy to find. Review these color-coded items to verify the job.

    2. If the Error Checker finds errors in the TANK input, the software does not analyze the job and TANK opens the Error Check Summary Report.

  3. Resolve any errors that are preventing the software from analyzing your TANK input. For more information, see Complete the Error Check Phase.
