Hi

I was doing Stack-up for the question in thread referenced.
Then I compared my answer to PDF provided by pmarc, I could only get Part C right, solution for A and B are wrong,
I'm at a very initial level of stack ups, can anybody detail out what im doing wrong in my solutions a and b.

Thanks for all the help.

Your spreadsheet only shows one row (the ID of 29 to 30). Please show the rest of your data/dimensions.
It's most likely that you didn't get all the solutions because you didn't include what we call "bonus tolerance" and "datum shift" somewhere?

Hi J P

My bad, i updated the link here.
Please take a Look
My answers are
Case a: Min7.5 /Max12.5
Case b:Min8 /Max12.5
Case c:Min7.5 /Max12.5

Since i'm sure im missing something but not too sure what, im beginning to overthink this and imagining what not.
This is a cry for help.

Thanks
Anant

I believe it's because your calculations don't include the form error on the two diameters. Recall that a position symbol is positioning the "unrelated actual mating envelope." But if they are not perfect circles, then the envelope only feels the high points; the actual answers could be further increased/decreased by any bubble or dent in the circles.
In the thread that I linked to above, look for the last graphic that was uploaded (by pmarc). By doing the stack based on MMB/LMB you can account for the true limits of the two edges. Again, the key is the form error (out of roundness).
 
I'm definitely missing a point.
Few other user were missing that too, so that feels good. Haha
How LMB is 48 and not 49.

Are LMBs tricky. Cause in Part C MMB is straight 50.

What am i missing.
 
How datum shift actually influences the stack-ups, if it's not a assembly tolerance stack up.

Agaurav,
Maybe this will help you understand why.


Briefly speaking, it's because there is no requirement for the feature to have perfect form at LMC. However, if the datum feature A in the stack up was controlled with a zero straightness at LMC tolerance, the requirement for perfect form at LMC would show up and then the LMB size would be 49.
 
Thank you pmarc. I was really struggling with this.
Happy thanksgiving guys.
