ME Weights
-
Version
3.0
ME Weights 3.0 calculates the volume and weight of any
combination of twenty shapes and a large variety of
materials commonly used in manufacturing and
construction.
The program can optionally calculate the volume and
weight of an assembly of diverse shapes and
materials. Shapes may be defined as solids or
cavities. A detailed summary of the assembly data can
be viewed, printed, or saved in .csv format.
Shapes include:
hexagonal, octagonal, rectangular, square, and round
solid bar
round, square, and rectangular tubing
sphere, hollow sphere, pyramid, cone, cone frustum
(truncated cone), spherical cap, and torus(donut)
Square and rectangular solid stock may have external
corner radii defined. Square and rectangular tubing
may have internal and/or external radii defined. This
allows for the calculation of a large number
of "custom" shapes.
A large selection of commercial pipe, angle, channel,
and I-Beam dimensions is included.
There is a substantial built-in material density
database, or a user-defined value may be used.
Dimensional data can be input as any combination of
inches, feet, millimeters, and meters. Output can be
in U.S. or metric units.
Input may be numerical or in the form of an
expression - 1.500 or 1 1/2 or 1+1/2 or 1+(1/2) or
(1+1/2), among others.
The required files total less than 200k, and are
installed simply by copying them to a directory of
your choice. A User Guide is included.
Demo version limited to two material types from each
category, user-defined material disabled.
