What You Will Learn Tolerancing Optimization
 

  • Create tolerance stack-up analysis for both plus/minus toleranced dimensions and geometric tolerances

  • Calculating boundaries using MMC, LMC and RFS Material Condition modifiers and apply transformation principles to different tolerancing scenarios to ensure optimal design intent

  • Analysis using single-segment and composite feature control frames using Position and Profile
  Intermediate Concepts of Tolerance Analysis
 

  • Derived inner and outer boundaries using floating and fixed fastener formulas

  • Create number charts for stack-up analysis using a variety of geometric tolerances, basic dimensions, resultant conditions, virtual conditions and plus and minus toleranced dimensions

  • Calculate the effects of angular stack-up contributors

  • Calculate minimum and maximum gaps for assemblies

  • Do stack-up analysis for floating and fixed fastener situations for various applications

  • • Analysis and implications of different datum reference frames and implications of form errors in the analysis
  Advanced Concepts of Tolerance Analysis

 

  • Understand Vector-Loop analyses with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing

  • • Monty Carlo Simulations

GD&T Implications to Corporate Six-Sigma Initiatives and Product Reliability

Who Should Attend

This course is directed to anyone with the responsibility of analyzing or applying tolerances to components and assemblies, or anyone seeking a more thorough understanding of tolerancing optimization and analysis.

Prerequisites

GD&T “Introduction & Fundamental Principles” and “Advanced Applications & Analysis” attendees should have an advanced working knowledge of ASME Y14.5. An advanced knowledge of GD&T is required to allow all participants to be successful in learning tolerancing optimization and tolerance analysis techniques.

The Tolerancing Optimization & Analysis Course Outline is available in PDF format.
