3D Functional Tolerancing & Annotation: CATIA tools for Geometrical Product Specification

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this paper we present some Dassault Systemes geometric product specification tools based on the use of the Technologically and Topologically Related Surface (TTRS) model. Ensuring the consistency of the specifications to the standards, these 3D tools help the user in the dimensioning & tolerancing definition, enabling to reduce the cost of part and product design and increasing their quality. The meaning of 3D specifications is capture enabling its exploitation by downstream application. Some direct benefits of the use of the TTRS model are shown.
