Fast and accurate
Inertia360™ extends the value of your CATIA V5 environment by automating mass properties calculations and producing precise weight, mass and fuel distribution reports.
Inertia 360
Requires CATIA V5
- CATIA V5 solid models of parts and assemblies.
- To produce the weight report, the software automates the measuring and data extraction from CATIA.
- For the mass and fuel distribution reports, Inertia360™ automatically performs required sectioning of parts or fuel model before measuring and conducting data extraction.
- Result:
- Accurate reports using the CATIA solid models.
- Time-saving and unique approach to mass distribution analysis.
- No approximations and no simplified models: all results are derived from the actual parts.
- Difference and history reports to evaluate trends with spreadsheet-ready reports.
Features
Weight Report
Generation of weight reports containing the mass, center of gravity and inertia of parts and assemblies. The report lists not only parts, but also their relative parts tree positions.
Mass Reports
Generation of mass distribution report of parts and assemblies found in selected volumes. Inertia360™ clips and performs calculations on the parts found in the chosen volume.
Fuel Distribution
The Fuel Distribution report details the mass, center of gravity and inertia of fuel within a specified volume no matter how complex its geometry. The application generates alternative fuel volumes using an original full tank and cutting planes you identify. The resulting fuel volumes are sectionalized using a volume model to generate the final report.
History Reports
Once the results of weight, mass and fuel reports have been generated and recorded into the database, history reports can be created by querying old reports by part, assembly, and volume or creation date. Use this report to evaluate trends.
Difference Reports
Immediately pinpoint changes in revisions with comparison of two reports and differences highlighted.
Customizable Materials
Configuration enables setting the densities of individual materials as needed.
Database of reports
All reports are saved to SQL database system for traceability and later retrieval.
Fasteners and sealants
Right down to the finest details, Inertia360™ incorporates algorithms to include approximations for fasteners and sealants within calculations.
Extendable
Inertia360™ was created specifically for wing designs but can be used for other applications including automotive, marine/naval and AEC engineering. The generated reports are in spreadsheet format, listing weight, center of gravity and inertia by part for the weight report and by volume for the mass and fuel distribution report.
Automatic processing
Batch Process the calculation of mass and center of gravity calculations in CATIA V5. Inertia360™ eliminates the manual clipping of volumes and creation of calculations thereby eliminating repetitive work, and difficulties associated with manual data entry.
