Weight Engineering - Computer Applications}, address = {Wichita, Kansas}, abstract = {Inertia 360, software to automate mass distribution calculations and reporting with CATIA V5, has been developed. The software has been used successfully on very large CATIA V5 assemblies to extract mass properties, create flexible volume sections and extract these mass properties and then output accurate weight, mass and fuel distribution reports. The software provides for more accurate reports, reduces the potential for human error and greatly reduces the time required to generate reports.}, keywords = {07. Section Properties, 12.
