Mechanical tolerance analysis software - In Gear - new mechanical tolerance analysis software - Brief Article

Automotive Design & Production, Dec, 2002

Who: Sigmetrix LLC (McKinney, TX)

What: Version 6.0 of CETOL Six Sigma mechanical tolerance analysis software

Why you should care: This software analyzes 3D solid models from Pro/ ENGINEER and detects potential part tolerance problems that could delay production and lead to expensive design changes, material scrap and higher warranty costs. Sigmetrix's CEO Tim Bogard says, "Because our software reliably identifies which features in a design are truly critical to quality, it allows engineers to focus on details that most influence manufacturability."

Pertinent Data: CETOL Six Sigma version 6.0 includes an assembly parametric mode that models joints for tolerance analysis using Pro/ENGINEER constraints, thereby cutting modeling time in half.

It also handles multiple levels of structure with analysis that rolls up from one level to the next to provide a comprehensive assembly analysis.
