Abstract | The introduction of solid modelling in Computer-‐Aided Design (CAD) tools has proven to be a tremendous boon to weight engineering. Analysis of the solid models provides weight, center of gravity, and inertia data with an ease and precision undreamt of by earlier generations. However, CAD packages such as Dassault’s Catia and SolidWorks are designed for a wide range of applications. As a result, the models are highly complex and even simple operations require a significant amount of resources. This can make sophisticated weights analyses slow and unwieldly, and occasionally prone to error. |
