Code Updates

  • Updated the software to support API 620, 12th Edition, Addendum 1 (November 2014). (CR-TX-10640, CR-TX-16131, CR-TX-16486, CR-TX-16775)

  • Updated the software to support API 650, 12th Edition, Addendum 2 (January 2016). (CR-TX-16464)

  • Updated the software to support API 653, 5th Edition (November 2014)

  • Updated the software to support API 2000, 7th Edition (March 2014)

Configuration

  • Enhanced TANK to compress and archive files. The software compresses input, output, and intermediate files into a zip file when you close a file, create a new file when another file is opened, or save an open file under a new fame. TANK now saves and compresses files under the new .tk file extension. This new functionality is enabled by default, but it can be disabled by selecting Do Not Compress the Input Files on the Configuration dialog. (CR-TX-8905, CR-TX-8906, CR-TX-8907, CR-TX-10596, CR-TX-10908)

  • Updated TANK by allowing the default structural database selection to display in Structural Database. Previously, when you selected a default structural database on the Configuration dialog, the software required you to reselect that database option on the Supported Cone Roof Data tab. The software has been updated, and the default database option selected on the Configuration dialog automatically displays in Structural Database on the Supported Cone Roof Data tab. (CR-TX-10413)

Productivity

  • Enhanced TANK to allow you to lock files. You can now lock a file by selecting Lock the Current Input File on the Tools tab. When the file is opened, a message displays indicating the file is read-only and cannot by saved or analyzed. If the file needs to be modified, you can unlock it by selecting Unlock the Current Input File on the Tools tab. This enhancement reduces the chance of users making accidental changes to files. (CR-TX-10470)

  • Updated TANK by creating new options for users to select a material or edit material properties. New Database and Edit/View Properties options were added to the material selection fields throughout the software. When you select Database, the updated Material Selection dialog box displays. When you select Edit/View Properties, the Material Properties dialog displays. (CR-TX-12902)

  • Updated TANK by adding the ability to display insulation on the 3D model. New Insulation options were added to the right-click menu that allow you to choose how insulation displays on the 2D and 3D models. (CR-TX-16447)

  • Updated TANK by adding a .vue file exporter utility. Users can now select Export to VUE Format on the Tools tab to open the VUE File Exporter utility. This utility allows users to convert their TANK .tk files into .vue files. Users can then open and review the TANK model in SmartPlant Review. (CR-TX-16502, CR-TX-16501, CR-TX-16843)

  • Updated TANK by removing the functionality to append reports. The Append Reports icon has been removed and all references to it removed from the documentation. (CR-TX-12270)

  • Enhanced TANK by integrating the TKerck.exe program into the TANK program. As a result of this enhancement, the time needed to analyze a file has been greatly reduced. (CR-TX-16064)

Analysis

  • Updated TANK to allow you to edit the value for Maximum Allowable Tensile Stress. Previously, Maximum Allowable Tensile Stress did not display on the input, the value was only defined in the material database. The interface has been enhanced and you can now edit the value on the Material Properties dialog or the General Tank Data tab. This enhancement grants you more control over the value that is calculated for Maximum Allowable Compressive Stress for API 620. (CR-TX-10652)

  • Updated TANK to only require you enter a value for Minimum Yield Strength of Bottom Plate once. Previously, the software required you to enter the value on the Seismic Data, Grillage Review, and Appendix M - Cycle Life tabs. The software has been updated to contain Minimum Yield Strength of Bottom Plate only on the General Tank Data tab, and the software uses the value in all necessary calculations. (CR-TX-10896)

  • Enhanced the Nozzle Stiffness Data tab to support API 620 radial nozzle inputs. When you select 620 in API Design Code on the General Tank Data tab, the API 620 Specific Data section on the Nozzle Stiffness Data tab populates with inputs that are used to perform nozzle area replacement analysis. (CR-TX-9529, CR-TX-10144)

  • Enhanced the Nozzle Stiffness Data tab in TANK to allow you to determine the nozzle outer diameter based on pipe properties specified in the Seamless Pipe Selection dialog box. When you click the ellipses in Nozzle Outer Diameter, the Seamless Pipe Selection dialog box displays, where you can select piping properties for the nozzle, such as Pipe Schedule and Nominal Pipe Diameter from various piping databases. The value for Nozzle Outer Diameter is then automatically calculated based on your selections. (CR-TX-10274, TR-TX-10562)

  • Updated TANK to include a check box to allow users to include the insulation thickness and density in the roof weight analysis. When you select Is the Roof Insulated on the General Roof Specs tab, the software uses the insulation data from the Tank Data tab to account for the weight of the insulated roof. Roof insulation calculations are only performed for tanks analyzed. per API 620. (CR-TX-16167)

  • Updated TANK by adding the ability to plot and analyze nozzles on the roof of a tank. Two new options, Is Nozzle on Roof and Distance from the Center were added to allow users to plot and analyze nozzles on the roof of a tank. Users can plot nozzles on the 3D model for both API 650 and API 620 tanks, but nozzle analysis is only performed for tanks designed per API 620. (CR-TX-16444)

Output Reports

  • Updated TANK to allow a seismic importance factor greater than 1.5. Previously, if the value in Importance Factor on the Seismic Data tab was greater than 1.5, the software encountered a fatal error upon analysis. The software now display a warning on the Error Checker .LOG File report if the seismic importance factor is greater than 1.5, but allows the analysis to continue. (CR-TX-12837)

  • Updated TANK to display a warning message on output reports when certain code rules are violated. According to API 650, a nozzle that is subjected to external loads must be located within a specified region of a tank. The software now displays a warning message on the Nozzle Flexibility & Load Results report when API 650 code rules are violated for nozzle placement. (CR-TX-10877)
