MecaStack is steel stack design software that is used to design steel stacks, steel chimneys, flares, exhaust stacks, etc. of a variety of dimensions and attachments. In addition, the software also performs a bending analysis of the stack to aid with the stack lifting design. MecaStack can be used to analyze self supported stacks (free standing) and guyed stacks (guy wire supported, PRO Version). Similarly, it can be used for design of steel chimneys or stacks that are braced on a building or other structures by lateral bracing. Above all, the software is very easy to use and extremely versatile at handling a wide range of problems and designs.

Some of the components that MecaStack incorporates are
- Ladders and Platforms
- Stiffening Rings
- Structural Flanges
- Damping devices (Software does not design the Damper)
- Flare Tips
- Insulation/Refractory/Jacket
- Breaches/Nozzles (Stack Openings)
- Piping

Steel Stack Design Codes
The user has complete control over the design codes that are used for Along Wind, Across Wind, Stress and Fatigue. In addition, the load combinations and factors can be customized as needed or auto-populated per the design code selected. There are several comprehensive steel chimney design codes available within the MecaStack design software
- American Standard: ASME STS-1
- CICIND
- Indian Standard
- British Standard
- Euro Standard
- Canadian Standard
- Brazilian Standard (NBR 6123)
- ISO 13705 (Formerly API-560)
- Mexican Standard CFE

Seismic Design Codes
There are several seismic design codes available
- Indian (IS1893)
- UBC 97
- Manual Entry
- International Building Code (IBC)
- Response Spectrum Analysis
- National Building Code of Canada (NBCC)
- EuroNorm (EN 1998-6)

Lifting Steel Stack Design Analysis and Extraction
Another critical item with steel stack design, is the lifting analysis portion of the design. It's great when the stack design comes together and shows it will work when the stack is erected, but if the stack can't be lifted into position then it is all for not and it could create a dangerous situation for those around. Somes to ease the stress the stack incurs when being lifted, it is wise to lift the stack in multiple sections instead of one large section. Although MecaStack provides the user with the ability to analyze the stack lifting design as a whole, it also allows the user to extract certain sections of their stack lifting design to analyze how it will perform during the lifting process. This only analyzes the stack itself and not the lifting attachments used to lift the stack. If you are interested in also analyzing the lifting lugs, please look into our MecaLug software.

Stack Analysis Output
Output reports are customizable in MecaStack. The user can select from a table of contents which items are going to be presented in the final report and save this configuration in a .TOC file so they don't have to reselect those items again for future reports. Also, by clicking on any of the table of contents items, it will take the user directly to that section for further investigation. Sections involving "Pass" or "Fail" criteria are displayed with the colors green for passing and red for failing. This allows the user to quickly detee if there are any problems in the steel chimney.
