AMETank

AMETank enables rapid configuration, design, and detailing of above-ground shop-built and field-erected storage tanks per API 650, EN 14015, API 653, API 620, AWWA D100, and AWWA D103. Elevated tanks, tanks with transitions, and double-wall cryogenic tanks designs are supported. Self-supported, structure with/without column supported cone/dome/umbrella roofs, and internal/external single/double-deck floating roofs can be designed and detailed.
Plates thickness, structure selection and sizing, appurtenances sizing, seismic, wind, internal and external pressure calculations are supported. Design calculation reports can be generated. US and metric/SI materials, Inputs, reports, outputs, and drawings are supported.
Interactive tank 3D layout enables complete design with fabrication detailing within two hours including production geometry, to-scale general-arrangement & fabrication drawings, weld maps, assembly, nesting, and CNC, Bill of Quantities, Bill of Materials, weight reports, welds reports, and cost calculations.
Tank LIDAR 3D-Scan point-clouds can be imported for API 653 assessments including shell verticality & out-of-roundness, bottom elevation & settlement, column verticality, floating-roof gap analysis, as-built drawings, and calibration and strapping charts.
Complete tank Finite Element Analysis (FEA) from mesh generation to stresses visualization in new and as-is condition based on 3D-scan LIDAR point-clouds per API 579 Level 3 Fitness for Service is included.
Accessways including wind girders, roof walkways, spiral stairways, ladders, roof and shell platforms, bridges, and stairway towers are available.
Agitators, heating-coils, and appurtenances with several options and styles, Generation of plates CNC drawings, weld maps, shell rollouts, and detailed assembly and component fabrication drawings for structure, appurtenances, accessways are supported. 3D models, drawings, BOQs, BOMs, weights, and cost data can be edited within AMETank or exported.
