Abstract
A procedure is developed to enable the data obtained from an exhaustiv e computer exercise, using finite elements, to be presented in the for m of best fitted equations for use in Design Standards. Although the e xample chosen is directed towards the analysis of a horizontal hot oil storage vessel, the method developed can be used to obtain a best fit ted equation for any set of generated or measured data. The resulting parametric equations can, thereafter, be used manually or, alternative ly, programmed for a personal computer.
