Weight and center of gravity (COG) coordinates calculation is an
essential step in any product creation. Both parameters are used in estimating
the product total weight and the loads in dynamically and statically conditions.
Solution
GURUCAD V5 WEIGHT ANALYSER product provides a flexible and easy
process to calculate weight and COG coordinates for a single part, product and
also in the context of a drawing (all parts and products linked to this drawing
will be analysed). This results can be copied on clipboard for further
processing. This data can be pasted in an excel sheet and saved as csv file and
via the CATIA V5 drafting command "Table From csv" will be automatically created
a drawing table with the csv file content.
Result
Weight and COG coordinates are displayed in main application
window when a single part or assembly is analysed and in a separate table when a
drawing with multiple links is analysed. The computation can be done on only
PartBodies or all bodies.
