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.
Meca has been a vital part of my windstorm business for the last 3 years. The software is very user friendly and Meca is helpful and responsive with any issues concerning your project and analysis.

Services
Meca was created in 2001 by Chris Rosencutter. There was not any commercially available software for designing stacks, and so Meca introduced the first Stack software to the market. We now offer MecaStack, which is the most widely used software for stack design in the world! The most common cause of failure for Stacks is Wind Induced Vibration (Vortex Shedding).
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.
MecaLug is a Padeye or Lifting Lug Calculation Software package that is used to perform padeye or lifting lug calculations as well as analyze loads acting on padeyes or lifting lugs for a structure or piece of equipment. Several different styles of padeyes or lifting lugs are offered giving the user multiple options in selecting an appropriate lifting lug.
The ASCE 7 standard is not a simple standard to follow and apply to "Real World" situations. Therefore, we have written an E-Book to illustrate some common problems that are encountered in structural design. The E-Book is purchased online at our store for $50. If it's purchased in combination with MecaWind the user will receive a discount.

MecaWind has been outstanding for us, allowing us to cut down down the time required for wind analysis and simultaneously increase the detail by which we review the wind impact on structures. The output reports are extremely useful and professional. I would highly recommend MecaWind to any consulting engineer who works with structural design in a critical wind zone.

The Meca Wind software has several programs like multi-roof tops for large greenhouses up to 8 crowns that is not found in most structural wind programs. The range of building types is very broad and therefore very helpful. Also with a little skill, the graphics are very clear for permit packages. As a senior level civil/structural P.E. and owner of a consulting firm for 35 years, and personally licensed in 16 States, I am very pleased. John C Raby & Assoc. Inc. Spokane WA.
