  • Material characteristic values for 3 months up to a maximum of 50 years (material-dependent)
  • Temperature dependent material characteristic values for the range -20 to +100 °C (material-dependent)
  • Over 600 different filling media /chemicals (material-dependent)
  • Freely creatable and expandable client database for filling media
  • Sheet thickness according to the delivery range for semi-finished products: 3 – 100 mm
  • Database for additionally required characteristic values
  • Database for reinforcement profile (with module Z1.1, a total of 6 materials / 8 profile types)
  • Database for nozzles and manholes (D = 25 up to 800 mm) in ≥ SDR11 (only with module Z2a.1)
  • Linguistic datasets for the program and static report in DE/ EN/ FR optional: CN/ CZ /ES / IT/ NL/ PL/ PT/ RUS/ TR 
  • Calculator / Unit converter for pressure / vacuum. Conversion into every metric unit is possible.
  • Calculator for diameter / height / volume. Helps calculate the main dimensions which are missing

M 1 = Rectangular tank

Choose between the following designs:

  • Tank without reinforcement
  • Tank with rim reinforcement
  • Tank with horizontal reinforcement
  • Tank with yoke reinforcement
  • Tank with cross-ribbed sidewalls and/or tie rod
  • optional (with module Z1.1) mixed design of horizontal and crossribbed support

Tank Designer calculates the following for you:

  • Thickness of base, wall and lid
  • Ribbing of the wall, base and lid
  • Dimensions and position of the reinforcement profile
  • Dimensions and position of the tie rods

M 2a = Cylindrical tank

Choose between the following designs:

  • Tanks with constant wall thickness
  • Graded tanks
  • Two-shell tanks
  • Retention tank with constant wall thickness
  • Graded retention tank
  • Two-shell (double layered) retention tank

Tank Designer calculates the following for you:

  • Thickness of cylinder, base, wall and roof
  • Designing of a conical base with spoke-like or ring support / slopped bottom
  • Ribbing of the base and roof
  • Dimensions and position of the reinforcement profile on the lid or base
  • Floor anchoring
  • Lifting eyelets for transport of the tank
  • Requirement of buoyancy protection in a collecting vessel
  • The edge fibre elongation during manufacturing of cylinder using sheets
  • Effect of weather conditions (wind, snow, sun)
  • Influence of nozzles and manholes
  • Effect of short and long term overpressure or vacuum

M 3 = Cylindrical ventilation ducts

Tank Designer calculates the following for you:

  • Wall thickness of cylindrical ventilator ducts

This program block is exclusively designed for calculations with vacuum (under pressure).

M 4 = Angular ventilation ducts

Tank Designer calculates the following for you:

  • The wall thickness of rectangular ventilator ducts without reinforcements
  • The wall thickness of rectangular ventilator ducts with reinforcements
    and their reinforcement spacing and dimensions

This program block is exclusively designed for calculations with vacuum (under pressure).

M 5 = Seismic safety

Cylindrical and vertical tanks (with flat, conical or sloped bottom) can now be optionally assessed for their seismic safety. This is possible at any installation site around the world. Tank Designer allows the input of the known subsoil conditions as well as all the earthquake magnitudes.

Tank Designer calculates the following for you:

  • Stability of the tank
  • Stability of the retention tank
  • Anchorage of the tank or retention tank
  • Fixing and supporting the tank in a retention tank

M 6 = individual cost analysis

Developed together with and proven by international operating tank and apparatus manufacturer.
Optimize your poly tank according detailed calculated manufacturing cost!

For rectangular tank (addition to module 1) and/or cylindrical tank (addition to module 2a)

Insert your material prices into the database (once) Insert you cost per working hour -men and/or machine- into the database (once) Review the working speed of men and machine (once) Setup your way of production and design in the dashboard (create your default setting) Calculate / receive technical design and economic data (in one calculation)

Z 7 = rectangular tanks made of twin wall Sheets (HKP)

Tank Designer calculates for you:

  • Plates with parallel or cross ribbed reinforcement
  • Reinforcement characteristics of the plates in 2 axes
  • All data necessary for the construction of rectangular tanks
  • In combination with module 6, the production costs of the tanks

N 0.1 = Upgrading to a network version

With purchase of the full version included in the price, you will receive the license data for up to 3 individual workstations. Optionally, you may also buy further workstation licenses. These workstations work independently of each other in the basic version and have their own databases.
The optional (also upgradeable) network version allows you to store data in a central database on the server. All workstations can be activated for access to this central database!

Z 1.1 = Upgrading for rectangular tanksTank Variante gemischt

The rectangular tank basic version offers reinforcement systems made of St37 or thermoplastic material. Using this optional module, you may choose the profiles made of following materials: carbon steel St52/ stainless steel V2A/ V4A or aluminum AL. Further included in this module: 4 additional variations to fix the vertical beams in crossribbed tanks and where to use a tie rod if at all. Also included in this additional module: Mix stiffening design! See picture:

Z 2a.1 = Upgrading for cylindrical tanks

Does the cylindrical tank that is to be constructed contain nozzles or manholes? Tank Designer takes this into consideration regardless of whether it is positioned in the roof or in the cylinder. An optional module helps determine the required nozzle, flange and lid thickness and takes their positive effect on the thickness of the cylinder into account.
Also contains: Database with nozzles and manholes (D = 25 up to 800 mm) in ≥ SDR11
