Feature Based Design
AMETank© supports a fully interactive 3D graphical user interface.
The configuration and layout of the tank shell, floor, roof and structure, and subsystems is facilitated through
intuitive menus with options customized specifically for tank design.
A complete design can be configured and detailed in less than two hours including the automatic generation of:
- Tank 3D geometry with production details.
- To-scale drawings including elevations, fabrication details, and assembly layout.
- Components fabrication list, bill of material, weight reports, and cost data.
Designs and Configurations
A wide range of storage tank designs and configurations are supported.
Roof layouts include self and structurally supported, single and multi-bay flat, cone, and umbrella with knuckle design.
Roof structures include various configurations for columns, girders, rafters, and brackets.
