Step 2 of 8: Define and Load a Tank with Standard Geometry

PL6.2: Create a Tank with Standard Geometry

Written by Alexandra Göttert

This is the simpler of the tutorial's two practice examples — a tank built entirely from DigiPara Liftdesigner's built-in standard geometry, with no custom profiles needed.

Prerequisites

  • The tank record exists and you understand its columns.

Steps

1.) Define the tank size. Fill in the tank's size columns (Width, Depth, Height, Max. Height, Base Width and Depth, Base Height) so the standard geometry has the dimensions you need.

2.) Define the tank volume and Mode. Fill in the Volume column, and set the Modes bitmask as needed for this tank (leaving out flag 4, since this example uses the standard geometry). Switch between the open data tables to save the new content.

3.) Load your edited tank in DigiPara Liftdesigner. Load the tank to confirm the standard geometry reflects the size, volume, and mode settings you defined.

Result

The tank with standard geometry is complete and displays correctly in DigiPara Liftdesigner, using only built-in geometry — no custom profiles.
