Creating a New Tolerance Analysis 

This task describes how to create a new analysis of assembly tolerance.
An analysis associates the product structure of an assembly document and its component tolerances with respect to an assembly process.

The analysis uses the PPR (Processes, Products, Resources) workbench structure:
 
  • The Process list contains assembly processes or other processes containing tolerance analysis activities.
    See Defining an Assembly Process.
  • The Product list contains imported or created assemblies. Assembly components must contain a mesh to be analyzed.
  • The Resources list contains geometrical elements used to define the assembly on tooling.

  1. Click New Analysis .

  1. Select the process in the specification tree.

     
    The Tolerance Analysis of Deformable Assembly object list appears in the specification tree:
    • Analysis Manager  contains the list of tolerance analyses.
    • Supports contains the list of assembly support.
    • Mechanical Joints contains the list of assembly mechanical joint.
    • Positioning Systems contains the list of assembly positioning systems.
    • Fastening Elements contains the list of assembly fastening elements.
    • Contacts contains the list of assembly contact.
    • Contact Links contains the list of assembly contact links.
    • Annotation Bags contains the list of assembly annotations bags.
