Mass Management Systems


M3 increases the visibility of the project and solves an array of industrial challenges that spare the costs of re-engineering and increasing the confidence of the stakeholders in the project.


Within the product lifecycle management (PLM) framework, engineers today are under a deal of stress to predict, determine, manage and track the weight, center of gravity, moments of inertia and product of inertia for the success of any new vehicle in the complex technology environment. The M3 web based application solution offers the functionality for the monitoring and controlling of weight during the entire development and design process right up to the maturity phase of the product. In the framework of the mass management application, java is the core used to define the project requirements to provide a template document from which to discuss goals in class structure and functionality. Since weight engineers work in different fields of manufacturing the program is tailored to customer specific processes. M3 increases the visibility of the project and solves an array of industrial challenges that spare the costs of re-engineering and increasing the confidence of the stakeholders in the project.

Technical Features:

M3 is the only product in the weight engineering industry where the user interface is standardized and meets the requirements of weight managers. It is a web based application implemented with modern Java technologies that provides a single access point to valid data to all people involved in a project. You can import and export data of CAD, PLM or other company applications.

Main Characteristics:

  • Control of Mass, Center of Gravity (COG) and Moment of Inertia (MOI)
  • Completing the data of existing products with weight information according to the original character (estimated, calculated, weighted)
  • Mass can be collected, calculated and analyzed from the entire structure according to quality
  • Aggregation of mass properties with different algorithms
  • Storage of Different values for CG and MOI for Take Off and Flight conditions in aerospace industries
  • Import of product structure and item information from PLM
  • Transition of mass properties data and calculations from CAD systems
  • Change-specific simulation of weight development without changing the constructive actual condition
  • Display and administration of aims for neutral product structures such as the so-called weight reference vehicle in the field of automotive engineering
  • Simple navigation between target mass and actual mass in the structure tree display
  • Simple navigation between target mass and actual mass in the form of tables and diagrams
  • Evaluation of time-referenced product weight
  • Optional 3D visualization and simulation of mass distribution and CG for edisplay and control
  • Overview
    • Overview
    • Manged by a role based access control system. All concerned people in a company are able to acess valid data. For data storage an ORACLE database is used.

  • Structure Tree
    • Structure Tree
    • Targets are Objects of a logical Structure which contain target values for mass data. Each project can contain one or more hierarchal structures of target objects. Targets can have references to item objects, this means that the logical object is implemented by a physical/part/assembly. Learn more...
