Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Batten Load Mass = 120
- Arbor Mass = 85
- Lift Line Mass (total) = 32.5
- Trim Mass (optional offset for manual trim) = 0
Expected Result:
- Counterweight Mass = 237.5
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Counterweight Mass = 237.5 kg.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
