Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis
Apply tolerance stack-up analysis techniques to a variety of assemblies. Explore loop analysis, number charting, virtual condition, resultant condition, inner and outer boundaries, minimum airspace, maximum wall thickness, maximum interference, minimum and maximum overall thickness, and fixed and floating fastener assembly conditions.
This course can be applied to the Dimensioning and Tolerancing Certificate.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
- Calculate minimum and maximum wall thicknesses, airspaces and interferences for assemblies
- Examine gaps for assemblies that use a variety of datum structures
- Learn a system of logic and mathematics to analyze tolerances
