Tolerance Analysis Overview
SOLIDWORKS includes TolAnalyst™ tolerance analysis tool that automatically checks the effects of tolerances on parts and assemblies to ensure consistent fit of components and to verify tolerancing schemes before the product goes into production. The tolerance analysis can be rerun instantly if a dimensioning or tolerancing change is made, enabling you to get to an optimized tolerancing scheme more quickly.
TolAnalyst provides automated tolerance analysis studies to:
- Assess min/max tolerances
- Perform root-sum-squared (RSS) tolerance analysis
- List contributing features and tolerances categorized by percent impact
Make changes to dimension and tolerancing schemes, and instantly run an updated tolerance analysis to see the impact of your changes.
Overview
Use SOLIDWORKS to establish design standards, and then check drawings (or models) against them as you design to ensure consistent and complete drawing outputs. With SOLIDWORKS you can:
- Verify designs against company standards
- Automatically correct nonconforming design and drafting issues
- Build Checks—Set up and save specific design and drafting checks
- Use Check Active Document—Run the check to validate your document (drawing or model) against the requirement
- Use Check Against Existing File—Validate the active document against design checks created from existing files
- Learn Checks Wizard—Retrieve design checks based on attributes from an existing SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, or drawing document
- Check specifically for fonts, dimension arrows, units, and other documentation details
- Compare your drawing to past results from reviews of other drawings
