Software for weight management
The TGM Weight Data Tool (WDT) is our proprietary solution to your weight management challenges.
In addition, we have developed special tools for analyzing aircraft data Smart Act developed.
TGM Weight Data Tool © (WDT)
The Weight Data Tool (WDT) is a software developed by TGM to optimize the weight management of rail and road vehicles.
Its client-server architecture supports the analysis and evaluation of masses, center of gravity distributions and mass moments of inertia as well as the calculation of axle, wheel and secondary suspension loads for various vehicle variants, including modular vehicle structures.
A fully parametric 3D finite element algorithm is integrated into the WDT3, which enables load case calculations of all kinds for customized individual vehicle articulation configurations with 1 or 2 chassis per vehicle part.
Main features
Database server with multi-user access for any network
Hierarchical management of vehicle assemblies and payload components
3D weight distributions
FEM calculation module for statically indeterminate support systems
WDT3 - Railway: Static load calculations for various bogie configurations (Jakobs, standard, unicycle and hybrid)
Payload calculation based on seven freely definable loading conditions
Graphical coordinate fixing and vehicle configuration, including graphical representation of CG distributions for assemblies and individual parts
Integrated support for the TGM weight tunnel concept for early detection and evaluation of weight drive factors and potential mass reductions
Supplementary modules: Advanced weight control; weight saving potentials; material selection; moments of inertia; time & cost management; as well as various optional add-ons and calculation modules
Report generator including import / export (MS Excel, ASCII text) and printout of the weight scales
Software compatible with Microsoft Windows / Linux / Mac OS X
Smart Act
The Smart Act software tool developed by TGM facilitates the management and analysis of aircraft weight data.
Thanks to the transparent reports and output options, Smart Act reduces the risk of incorrect decisions in weight management, which can be crucial for a project.
It reduces the workload of your weight engineers and at the same time allows direct cost/weight comparisons to be made in aircraft construction.
Other functions include data management for components and structures.
