Tolerance analysis programs
Tolerance analysis programs
(OP)
Does anyone have any experience with tolerance analysis programs?
My boss is under the impression that if I add tolerances to my parts as I create them I would be able to push a button and get a report of potential problems (interference).
Thanks in advance,
Louis

RE: Tolerance analysis programs
I do not know of a program that will do what you’re asking within SolidWorks. You could build all your parts at MMC (Maximum Material Condition) then run the interference detection check under tools. I do not build my parts at MMC, because MMC would not really show design intent. Each dimension on the drawing would have to have a tolerance of + .000/-.010. Plus as a side issue, the hardware created by toolbox and the hole created by SolidWorks Hole Wizard always shows interference. At the bare minimum run the interference detection check under tools.
