Case Studies

Meca Enterprises is an engineering firm dedicated to crafting software tailored for Steel Stack design, Wind Load Calculations, and Lifting Lug design. Their software, MecaStack, is a 3D stack design tool utilized in the creation of steel stacks, steel chimneys, flares, exhaust stacks, and more, accommodating various dimensions and attachments. This proprietary software conducts a comprehensive bending analysis of the stack, facilitating efficient stack lifting design.

MecaStack offers the capability to analyze both self-supported stacks (free-standing) and guyed stacks (supported by guy wires). It is equally adept at designing steel chimneys or stacks that derive lateral support from buildings or other structures through lateral bracing.

The software adheres to diverse Stack Design Codes, incorporating several comprehensive steel chimney design codes within MecaStack. Notable among these codes are "American Standard: ASME STS-1," "CICIND," "Indian Standard," "British Standard," "Euro Standard," "Canadian Standard," "ISO 13705 (Formerly API-560),".

Meca Enterprises were looking for a technical partner would help them in enhancing and maintaining their software. Rheal not only helped in maintaining the software, but also suggested technical improvements and refined the user interface, creating a more intuitive and visually appealing application. They introduced custom controls for reusability, streamlining development and reducing coding efforts. This collaboration resulted in a more efficient and user-friendly software, showcasing Rheal's expertise in software optimization.

The software has gained widespread acceptance in the industry. Its user-friendly interface has played a significant role in this positive reception.
