Maximum/minimum worst-case and RSS
results are calculated and a "contributors" list is output to
let you know which features and tolerances have the greatest
impact on the stack-up. In this way you can loosen
tolerances on dimensions that are not important to the stack-up,
thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
Key Capabilities of TolAnalyst
• Fast tolerance stack-up calculation of maximum and minimum
¡§worst-case¡¨ and RSS for parts and assemblies
• Intuitive and easy-to-use
• Ability to create and display critical study dimensions
directly on the 3D model
• Automatic extraction of dimensions and tolerances necessary
for the analysis directly from the 3D models
• Automatic calculation and display of a contributors list of
features and tolerances based on percent impact on the critical
evaluation dimensions
• Graphic display of maximum and minimum condition in the 3D
model
• Quickly evaluate diffrent tolerance schemes
• Seamlessly integrated with SolidWorks DimXpert - automated
part dimensioning and tolerancing
• Ability to export all analysis results in Excel
Key Benefits of TolAnalyst
• Significantly reduces prototyping typically required to test
for assembly fit and function and even reveals "worst-case"
issues you would not normally find with physical prototyping
• Decreases manufacturing costs by verifying tolerance schemes ¡V
allows looser tolerances and less expensive manufacturing
techniques where tight tolerances are not needed
• Eliminates the need for hand
calculations which can be time consuming and error-prone -
TolAnalyst contains a tolerance stack-up analysis engine
• Eliminates the need for manual data entry into a program or
spreadsheet because TolAnalyst is seamlessly integrated with
DimXpert and automatically extracts DimXpert dimensions and
tolerances that are necessary for the stack-up calculation
• Provides graphical and text-based feedback as to which
features and tolerances most greatly affect the critical
dimension being evaluated - easier for the designer to figure
out what tolerances and/or features needs to be modified
• Fast tolerance stack-up calculations, combined with the
fact that no manual data entry is required, allows designers to
quickly iterate stack-up analyses in order to optimize assembly
fit and function
• Solves minimum/maximum
¡§worst-case¡¨ tolerance stack-up with respect to position of
components in the assembly, not by just merely rebuilding parts
at their maximum or minimum tolerances
