Welcome to Meca Enterprises

Meca Enterprises is an engineering company developing software for Steel Stack design, Wind Load Calculations and Lifting Lug design. We also provide engineering services on a variety of process equipment (Stacks, Skids, Air Cooled Heat Exchangers, etc.). One of the most common problems that occur with steel stacks is wind induced vibration, and so we also offer cost effective alternatives (i.e. dampers) to address stack vibration (vortex shedding) problems.

I just paid for renewal after having the software for a year. It’s been all I need from correct answers, documentation, and customer support. Five stars.

Meca Enterprises was very quick and responsive. Will definitely use them for our ASCE 7-16 calculation software.

We are using the wind load calculation software. Big time saver in otherwise cumbersone and tedious wind calculations using ASCE 7. Would recommend to structural engineers that need to include wind loads on their analysis.

Hands down the best program to calculate wind pressures on a building. Very simple input. Output is for all kinds of structures and situations. The program can calculate pressures on raised buildings on stilts. Simple 3D modeling with pressures drawn with arrows showing exactly what pressure goes where so there is no confusion. Text output file is very detailed and separated by groups to make it very simple to find what you are looking for. Great resource for Engineers and Architects.

Our company has been using MecaWind for several years and we are very satisfied with the results we get from the software. The input is very user-friendly and easy to understand. The new graphic updates have been a major improvement. We love the continuous yearly improvements and updates made to the software!!!

I had been designing steel stacks for decades prior evaluating the software for use at the company I work for. I found MecaStack to be incredibly mature, flexible and easy to use. It blew away the competition! It is so much faster than the cobbled together proprietary software, hand calculations, spreadsheets, etc. we used prior to acquiring MecaStack. Favorite features include the graphic representation of the stack as it is designed, the ability to turn across wind analysis on and off, and ease of switching between US and SI units on the fly. WELL DONE!!!

MecaStack
Software

MecaStack is the most widely used software in the world for designing self-supported and guy wire supported steel stacks. An easy to use Windows based interface allows designers to quickly model a stack. The user has complete control over the codes that are used for Along Wind, Across Wind, Stress and Fatigue. Load Combinations and factors can be customized as needed.

MecaWind
Software

MecaWind is a cost effective program used by Engineers and designers to perform Wind calculations per ASCE 7-22, 7-16, 7-10, & 7-05. The program is simple to use, and offers a professional looking output with all necessary wind calculations. The user also has a great deal of control at their fingertips to customize their output to suit their needs.

Wind Example
e-Book

Our new EBook provides a detailed set of wind load calculations that illustrate how to calculate wind loads per ASCE 7-10 and ASCE 7-16. In addition, the EBook provides a comparison of the various methods within each standard as well as a comparison in the results obtained following ASCE 7-10 versus ASCE 7-16.

MecaLug
Software

MecaLug is an easy to use software program effective in designing and analyzing lifting lugs per ASME BTM-1 “Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices”. The program also has the added ability of being able to apply those lugs to a lifting system and analyze what loads would be seen by the crane, cable, and lugs. Making it an all-in-one lifting design software.

Damping
Pads

Meca provides damping pads for stacks. Generally these are an economical solution for stack heights from about 50 ft [15.2 m] to 150 ft [45.72 m].

It’s a very easily solution to implement on New Stack designs. Damping pads have been used for about 40 years, and have proven to be very reliable.

Tuned Mass
Dampers (TMD)

A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is device that is added to the top portion of the stack that increases the damping of the stack, which will suppress wind induced vibration.

Tuned Liquid
Dampers (TLD)

Meca has partnerships with companies that design Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) and Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD). These are typically used on stacks that are 150 ft [45. m] and taller. There are many factors that determine whether a TMD or TLD is more appropriate.
