This project provides a complete Abaqus CAE file for the finite element analysis (FEA) of a specialized cylindrical water storage tank. The design features a cylindrical main body with conical top and bottom sections, typical for industrial storage applications.
This simulation evaluates the structural integrity of the tank under complex environmental loading conditions. By downloading this file, you will gain access to a pre-configured Abaqus model that simulates the combined effects of Snow Load, Gravity (Self-Weight), and Lateral Wind Pressure.
Key Simulation Features:
- Geometry: Cylindrical shell with conical top and bottom segments.
- Loading Conditions:
- Gravity Load: Analyzes the effect of the structure’s self-weight and contained liquid pressure.
- Snow Load: Applied as a surface pressure on the conical top.
- Wind Pressure: Modeled as a distributed lateral load to simulate real-world environmental exposure.
- Analysis Objectives:
- Stress Distribution: Identify high-stress regions (Von Mises stress) and potential failure points.
- Displacement Analysis: Evaluate the deformation of the shell and joints under the combined load scenario.
- Result Visualization: Access full ODB outputs, contour plots, and X-Y data for structural verification.
