Input Definitions

Inputs Needed to Call the Chemical Stock Tank Function

• origin - a 3*1 matrix with user defined x,y,z

...

• positions

...

• corresponding

...

• to

...

• origin.

...

• The origin is located at the top right corner of the platform.

• disp - displacement between the edge of the drum containing the chemical stock solution (sometimes also refered to as the chemical stock barrel) and the edge of the platform.

• thick - specifies the thickness of the platform.

• walkway - the width of a walkway space on the platform, so that the plant operater can walk on the platform next to the chemical stock drums/barrels

• column_dim - a 3*1 matrix with the x,y,z

...

• dimensions

...

• of

...

• the

...

• columns.

...

• R - chemical stock drum radius/ chemical stock barrel
  radius
