Definition
A computer aided tolerancing technique used to compute the effects that small displacements (tolerances) of the rigid parts in a kinematic chain have on a functional requirement of a mechanical product.
Theory and Application
Introduction
Tolerancing is a complex task that conveys functional intent into the detail drawings of a mechanical product, using a symbolic language which rules are defined in international standards of geometric design and tolerancing (GD&T), for example ASME Y14.5 1994 and ISO 1101:2012 (Geometrical Product Specification). Over the years many aspects of tolerancing have drawn much attention in the scientific community: tolerance analysis, tolerance synthesis, worst case tolerancing, statistical tolerancing, tolerance modeling, manufacturing tolerances (Villeneuve and Mathieu 2010). More recently other fundamental aspects have also been actively studied: additive manufacturing tolerancing...
