THE CAD PARAMETRIC MODELING OF PARTICULAR SHAPES OF FUEL STORAGE TANKS

In the industrial market there are many types of fuel storage tanks available used for the short- or long-term storage, which vary in terms of their shape, complexity, usage and also the fuel which can be store within it. The most fuel storage tanks are manufactured and their construction follow a series of specific steps requested according to manufacturer's proprietary designs and beneficiary specifications. This paper explores various 3D (three-dimensional) models of fuel storage tanks using CAD parametric modeling. Considering functions of fuel storage tanks it seems reasonable investigating new 3D parametric models to adopt the standard shape according restricts imposed by available space requirements. These 3D models permit us to develop some computational algorithms and mathematical solutions for structural and thermal analyses able to desig n the optimized product final form.
