Parametric Tanks¶

Cuboid Tank¶

Cuboid tank is centered about its location. Options for end shape.

../../../_images/cuboid_ends.png — Cuboid end shapes for **End 1**¶

../../../_images/cuboid_sloped_end.png — Sloped end dimension¶

Lx: X dimension
Ly: Y dimension
Lz: Z dimension
End1: Options for Flat, Empty, Sloped. End 1 is defined as the end in the positive Z direction in the local coordinate system of the object.
End2: Options for Flat, Empty, Sloped. End 1 is defined as the end in the negative Z direction in the local coordinate system of the object.
End 1 Height: Height of 4 sided pyramid end shape. See diagram.
End 2 Height: Height of 4 sided pyramid end shape

Cylindrical Tank¶

A Cylinder tank with many options for end shapes and baffles.

../../../_images/cyl_baffles.png — Baffle dimensions. Single baffle shown for clarity.¶

End 1: End in the up direction. End shape with options defined in below sub-section End Shapes
End 2: End in the down direction. End shape with options defined in below sub-section End Shapes
Baffle Number: Number of baffles. Evenly distributed around perimeter of tank.
Baffle Width: Baffle Width. See diagram.
Baffle Length Factor: Defines the baffle length as a fractional value of the Tank Length.
Baffle Thickness: Baffle solid thickness
Baffle Wall Offset: Axial offset of baffles from wall of tank. Positive values move the baffles inwards toward the center of the tank axis.
Baffle Angular Offset: Rotational offset of baffles
Baffle Axial Offset: Offset of baffles along the tank direction. Taken as a value relative to the bottom of the cylinder tank wall

End Shapes¶

Parameters below are given for End 1 for brevity. The same parameters are available for End 2.

Open¶

Open/empty end. No parameters.

Flat¶

Flat solid end. No parameters.

Conic¶

End 1 Depth: Height of conic end

Dish¶

End shape is a spherical sector. The end depth is defined.

End 1 Depth: Height of dish end

Ellipse 2 to 1¶

Ellipse end with a major to minor axis ratio of 2:1. An ellipse arc is then used to revolve a surface about the tank cylinder axis to generate the final shape.

Flanged Dish¶

A Flanged and dished end with a filet/knuckle radius. The parameters define a curve with 3 parts: Strange Flange, Knuckle, and Dish. The resulting curve is revolved about the tank axis.

End 1 DR: Dish radius percent of Diameter
End 1 KR: Knuckle radius percent of Diameter
End 1 SF: Straight flange length
