RITA® 6 - The tank calculation software

The tank calculation software RITA® has been used for more than 20 years to perform calculations as part of the structural analysis of tanks made of thermoplastics. RITA® 6 is based on the latest technology and combines the proven advantages of the successful software with a number of other useful new features.

The most important functions in RITA® 6.0
