Storage tank analysis and design

Software Tour

LUSAS Tank

LUSAS Tank allows engineers to automatically create a range of 2D and 3D finite element models of above ground full containment concrete or double-walled steel circular tanks from user-defined common tank definition data. Slightly elevated tanks mounted on bearings, pedestals or piles, are also catered for. Using these models, a range of analyses can be performed and design checks can be optionally carried out for specified load combinations and supported design codes.



Why use LUSAS Tank?

  • Built on 20 years of experience in the storage tank industry..
  • 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 design and seismic checks to supported 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."

Software product

LUSAS Tank is available in three versions: 

  • LUSAS Tank 'Roof' - for modelling, analysis and design of circular metallic containment tank roofs only.
  • LUSAS Tank 'Concrete' - for modelling, analysis and design of circular concrete containment tanks and roofs.
  • LUSAS Tank 'Metallic' - for modelling, analysis and design of circular double-walled metallic containment tanks and roofs
