mâ³ mass management software
Mass Management from usb Germany
The mass of a system is built-in very early in a development project. M³ provides the information necessary to evaluate design decisions related to weight in the earliest stages of development.  Since weight is closely related to cost, M³ provides a strong cost reduction effect as well.
Using existing PLM-systems, usb’s weight management offers significant functionality for the prediction, monitoring and control of weight during the entire development process.
Technical information
M³ is a modern Java-based software application designed specifically  for the requirements of weight managers.
 Features
- Independent of platform and browser
- Compatible with all PLM-systems
- Configurable CAD and PLM interfaces
- Oracle Based
- Multilingual
- Control of Mass, Center of Gravity (CG) and Moments of Inertia (MOI)
- Tracking and history of estimate, calculated and actual weights.Â
- Decision tool for assessing trade offs in early stages of development or even the quoting process.Â
- Actual mass can be collected, calculated and analysed according to its quality across any level.
- Aggregation of mass properties with different algorithms
- Import of product structure and item information from PLM or CAD
- Import of mass properties data and calculations from CAD systems
- Display and administration of weight goals.
- Simple navigation
- Visual tables and diagrams for analysis
- Evaluation of time-referenced product weight.
- Optional 3D visualization and simulation of mass distribution and CG for edisplay and control.
