LUSAS LNG Tank System - Software overview

Software Tour

LUSAS LNG Tank Analysis and Design System

The LUSAS LNG Tank Analysis and Design System allows engineers to automatically create a range of 2D and 3D finite element models of full containment circular tanks from user-defined parameters. From these models, a range of analyses can be performed, and design checks can be optionally carried out for specified load combinations.

Why use the LUSAS LNG Tank System?

Built on 20 years of experience in the LNG market.

Automated model building with comprehensive checks for various events and loading scenarios.

Model construction stages including pre-stressing, and evaluate thermal effects during operation.

Carry out concrete wall and seismic checks to codes of practice.

Customise the software to suit your needs using the LUSAS Programmable Interface.

LUSAS is a long-established and trusted provider to industry leaders, and LUSAS Technical Support is stated, by its users, to be simply: "The best in the business."
