Solico software suite now includes horizontal tank module

Solico Engineering (Oosterhout, Netherlands) releases the final module of its proprietary software, Amphora, dedicated to the optimization and structural engineering of composite tanks and silos in full compliance with EN13121 standards. The launch of the horizontal tank module completes Amphora’s comprehensive suite, which already includes vertical tanks, silos and ribbed vessels.

Amphora is developed as a solution for the design, analysis and optimization of composite structures. The horizontal tank module is said to expand the software’s capabilities, enabling users to design a wide range of tank types with precision and efficiency.

According to the company, Amphora’s key features include:

• Full compliance with EN13121 standards: Enables accurate and safe designs for composite tanks and silos.
• Multi-language report exports: Supports English, Italian and German by default, with additional languages available upon request.
• Continuous updates and improvements: Guarantees optimal performance and up-to-date features.
• Comprehensive suite of modules: Includes vertical tanks, silos, ribbed vessels and the horizontal tank module.

“We are delighted to introduce the final component of the Amphora platform with the horizontal tank module. This latest addition reinforces Amphora’s position as a comprehensive and powerful software for engineers working on composite tanks and silos,” says Dante Rogiest, senior lead engineer at Solico Engineering.

To celebrate this release, Solico Engineering is hosting a launch event on Oct. 8, 2024, at 10 a.m. CEST, where the horizontal tank module is being unveiled. The event includes a live demonstration of Amphora’s advanced features, showcasing the module’s capabilities and how it integrates with the existing software suite. Attendees also have the opportunity to engage with Solico’s engineering team and explore how Amphora can optimize their tank and silo design processes.
