tank software comparison

[judge503]

dears,
our company is planning to buy a tank design software and we are comparing between three softwares (intergraph tank, Etank or AMEtank).
I need your help which one is covering all parts of tank design without any help from other software or if there is another option.

I found that the common defect in all of them :
- none of them design roof supported by truses
- none of them design according to AWWA

thank you

There is one tank program that is missing from your list, ITSDesign. It does calculations to AWWA D100 as well as API 650 and Factory Mutual 4020.

I am not aware of any tank program that performs truss calculations for roof rafters.

If you are referencing tank roof rafters?? Than, yes E-tank, ITSDesign, Coade and Ametank all provide you with the rafter size/details.
AMEtank--- will give you a turn key package, IF you dont have any type of special needs. I used AME for a year and finley quit and went back to Auto-cad.

I am currently using ITS and like it--- It continues to be updated weekly with the latest codes etc.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
LGW

Metrologul,You may try to post your request in a different forum/thread. I am not sure you will get much feed back here.
None of the above programs (to my knowledge)will address your issue.

metrologul,
As lgwsaw says better to post your question in the appropriate forum and in the accepted language (i.e. English)
