Tolerance analysis wizard aids Inventor users
Geomate Corp has developed a version of its ToleranceCalc automated tolerance analysis wizard to assist Autodesk Inventor software users in conducting tolerance studies of parts and assemblies.
Tolerance analysis wizard works with new Inventor
The ToleranceCalc automated tolerance analysis wizard has been certified by Autodesk to join the suite of its Inventor certified applications.
Modest efforts in this area can yield significant cost savings with little capital investment.
ToleranceCalc will assure success that results from including tolerance related performance and manufacturing considerations early in the design process.
An important characteristic of ToleranceCalc is concurrent calculation of planar tolerance stacks as well as standard deviation from the ideal manufactured part.
ToleranceCalc delivers this important information, needed for making intelligent tradeoffs between performance and manufacturability of the design, quickly and easily.
The design decision support information from ToleranceCalc makes it clear whether a part or assembly is in or out of tolerance - the worst-case stack up results deliver design decision support information regarding the performance of the model, while the mean and standard deviation results influence manufacturability issues.
ToleranceCalc does not require any specialised knowledge of dimensional engineering and has a learning curve of minutes.
Which means, all engineers as well as designers using CAD can quickly benefit from ToleranceCalc to achieve higher product excellence.
ToleranceCalc wizard can be used in conjunction with all popular CAD and solid modelling software that are capable of saving geometry in the DXF standard file format.
Priced at $395, ToleranceCalc can complement Autodesk Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Pro/E, Ideas, Catia, TurboCAD, Cadkey, Think3, IronCAD, Unigraphics, Ashlar Vellum and all CoCreate products.
