Software for structural analysis

Good day,

I would like to learn a software for structrual analysis of lifting frames for offshore, lifting beams , speader bars ,bottle racks etc.

What books should i read and software?

So far i have a copy of ASME bth and am leaning towards sap2000 as i have some old reports from an engineer using this.

I dont know is Sap is still relevant. My calcs should be good enoigh for DNV, lloyds shell and Bp etc.

Carbonsteel Portable Grey water tank design advice.

Good day,

I am hoping to get some refferences or conciderations for design of portable ( 6-8ft long x 4-5ft tall) tanks.

These will be used for emptying portable restrooms from fairs porta potty etc.

I saw some whith a rhombic shape, but my concert is that may be difficult to clean.

With a cube or cuboid i think the middle might need a baffle that can trap the process.

So far, im concidering 15 psi vaccum condition, a tilted base towards the pumpout.

I dont know what code to use, asme 8 div1 may be overboard and increase cost.

I also think internal coat with epoxy paint will help. But the units are a bit small to get inside and touch up the weld areas.

If anyone has a book , guide, sample drawings or ideas please share.

I know the topic of septics is a bit wierd but I would lime to provide a good design that is safe , economical can user friendly.

I can post screen shots of the drawing here, buy i dont know if to go cubic, less fabrication cost. Or cylinder with flat plate ends.
