MecaLug Professional

When modelling the lifting lug the user will need to specify the following:

• Lug Geometry
• Cheek Plate Dimensions (If applicable)
• Attachment dimensions (i.e. cylindrical shell, beam, etc..)
• Shackle selection (Checks clearances and capacities)
• Material properties
• Loads acting in the X, Y and Z direction on the lug (Multiple load cases may be entered)

After the data is entered, the analysis can then be performed. The user can quickly determine Pass vs Fail by using our simple system where Green is Passing and Red is Failing. You can quickly survey the output and determine the problematic areas. After the design is final, you can then pick and choose which information will be used in the final report.

For a single lug analysis, this will contain a complete analysis of the lug per ASME BTH-1, considering each of the load cases entered by the user. 

For the lifting system, a complete analysis of the loads in each cable, at each crane point, and acting on the lugs.
