Tolerance Analysis and Tolerance Stackups

Paul.Normand — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 18:42:06 GMT

Hello everyone,

First, I’d like to announce the release of the new Define a Tolerance Stackup guided tutorial! This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Tolerance Analysis add-in which is provided with the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection. The Tolerance Analysis add-in is compatible with 2019.1 and 2019.2.

You don’t need the Tolerance Analysis add-in to download the tutorial and watch the workflow videos!

And thanks to the localization team, the help and guided tutorial are available in all language versions!

Help is here:

30-day trial is here:

I also wanted to share that last night I had the opportunity to do a presentation to the local Portland user group about how 3D Annotation, Model-based definition, and Tolerance Analysis all work together.

Here’s the scenario I demonstrated:

Add MBD tolerance information to the parts and run Tolerance Analysis on the assembly
Tolerance Analysis detects and (bi-directionally) uses the MBD part feature tolerance information in the analysis
Tolerance Analysis fails in Worst Case, RSS, and statistical
Tolerance Analysis lists the stackup contributors from greatest to least
Relax the tolerance for the greatest contributor in either MBD part or Tolerance Analysis table
The tolerance value updates in both places and the analysis succeeds

I’ll be creating a new guided tutorial that demonstrates this workflow sometime after AU. See some of you there!

Safe travels!

Paul
