Analysis & Design Software for Silos and Storage Tanks

Structural Analysis & Design Software for Silos and Storage Tanks

To design silos and storage tanks, the structural FEA software RFEM by Dlubal is the best choice. Many useful features facilitate your calculations. These features include application of loads varying along a perimeter and in the Z-direction, seismic analysis, shell buckling design, and many others.

Structural FEM Analysis and Design

The successful structural analysis program RFEM 6 by Dlubal Software is the basis of a modular program family that you can customize and combine according to your individual requirements. In the main program RFEM, you can define structures, materials, and loads of planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells, and members. Furthermore, you can create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements.

Wind Simulation and Wind Load Generation

Do your structures have to withstand every gust of wind? Then it is best to use the Dlubal stand-alone program RWIND 2. It is particularly recommended for complex model shapes. There are wind flows around all structures simulated in a digital wind tunnel.

You can easily import your generated wind loads acting on these objects into RFEM or RSTAB. Thus, you can complete your project there.

Add-ons and Add-on Modules for Design of Silos and Storage Tanks

For your structural analysis and design of silos and storage tanks, we recommend you the add-ons and add-on modules of the Steel Structures industry.

Interfaces for Data Exchange

The Dlubal structural analysis software can be integrated seamlessly into the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. The large number of interfaces allows you to exchange the data of digital building models with RFEM or RSTAB.

Use the Webservice (a programmable interface) to read or write the data from or to RFEM and RSTAB.
