The Home Tab > Scratchpad panel lets you quickly access any available scratchpads for tank input, as well as transfer existing scratchpad calculations to your input file. Scratchpads let you compute data that you later enter in the tank input.
The TANK does not save the data you enter on a scratchpad. The scratchpad merely serves as an area to perform calculations.
Tank Sizing/Costing Scratchpad
Opens the Tank Sizing/Costing Scratchpad dialog box. This scratchpad allows the user to estimate tank sizes and plate costs for a range of tank dimensions.
Scratchpad Calculator
Launches the computation engine for the Tank Sizing/Costing Scratchpad dialog box. You must have values entered in all of the Scratchpad Input Data boxes for the software to activate the calculator.
Transfer Scratchpad Results
Transfers the minimum cost tank (results) from the scratchpad to the General Tank Data dialog box. This serves as a good starting point for a tank design.
