This new tool is a customized solution of the ACT Weight and Balance V3.2 application for CATIA. 

The new application includes the basic functionality of the W&amp;B ACT application plus the following:

•	Ability analyze all CATIA models loaded in the user work session. 
•	Cut most of the CATIA elements in a model(s) to extract, center of gravity, and inertia distribution data. The data is then use in the weight data for stress and dynamic analysis report. 
•	Code each CATIA element to produce a detail weight statement (ref: SAWE recommended practice #8A) with an integrated code table. 
•	Automatic code attribution for each CATIA element to produce a geographical weight statement. 
•	User interface to validate data prior to the initiation of the compute process. 
•	Result of analysis may be appended to an existing file or saved under a new file. 
•	Output analysis data can  be organized in an assembly drawing structure via the validation panel. 
•	Analysis can be performed through an overnight batch process. Results and error log files are sent by e-mail to the user account.
