Determination of a Set of Admissible Parameters in Designing of LPG Storage Tanks Considering a Required Safety Factor
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
In this study a method to determine a set of admissible parameters in designing of a three-dimensional (3D) hexagonal toroid with regular hexagonal cross-section used in manufacturing of LPG storage tanks from the automotive industry was proposed. A design methodology was applied to determine the safety factor (SF) values according to manufacturing objectives. The numerical simulations of a 3D model with parametric features (created in AutoCAD Autodesk 2017 software, and then analyzed with SolidWorks 2017 software) was applied in correlation with computation of confidence intervals of the safety factor. The proposed flexible numerical simulation framework offer an efficient workflows for integration of data and software packages for coupled process simulations to demonstrate its capabilities. Numerical results were stored in structured data formats to allow for an integrated 3D visualization and result interpretation. Results have shown that the proposed method is useful in CAD design of LPG storage tanks from the automotive industry.
