Input Definitions

Inputs Needed to Call the Chemical Stock Tank Barrels 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

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

• H - chemical stock drum radius/ chemical stock barrel height

Inputs Defined within the Chemical Stock Tank Barrels Function

platform_origin =

• x : origin₀

• y : origin₁

• z : origin₂

platform_dim =

• x : (2(2*R) + (3*disp)

• y : (2R) + walkway + disp

• z : thick

H_barrel = H

barrel1_origin =

• x : platform_origin0 - ((3*R) + (2*disp))

• y : platform_origin1 - (R + disp)

• z : platform_origin2 + platform_dim2

barrel2_origin =

• x: platform_origin0 - (R + disp)

• y : platform_origin1 - (R + disp)

• z : platform_origin2 + platform_dim2
