Weight & Balance Engineering, also known as Mass Properties Engineering, is the technical discipline which refers
to the prediction, determination, management and tracking of the weight, Center of Gravity, and Moment of Inertia
for a new product.
The Programs > Management page allows you to create and manage programs in the database. A Program structure includes Versions, Variants, and Products
in the order of hierarchy.
WA provides a powerful and comprehensive mission simulation module which allows you to calculate the evolution of the weight
during the flight and to monitor how this curve changes over the product life cycle.
WA allows you to query the related data in a report. Any product created has a Concept or a Snapshot available in Work in Progress or in the Approved status.
WA enables faster and more accurate decision-making with on-demand access to a protocol of standard and regular charts targeted
for different recipients:
You can view the CoG chart in the Center of Gravity, Lateral View, Front View, Top View, and 3D View for the selected
Part or Product in the chart area.
WA shows you the Cost and Weight trends vs Snapshots available in the current product. This analysis allows you to compare
