3dcs advanced analyzer and optimizer for tolerance analysis
DESCRIPTION
Use AAO, Advanced Analyzer and Optimizer, to quickly optimize your designs for maximum quality at the lowest cost. Excellent for quickly testing and changing many tolerances at once, AAO is a great way to speed up modeling, and more importantly, speed up the process of testing and checking new tolerance strategies. As an inexpensive add-on to any of DCS's 3DCS software suites, including the embedded CATIA versions, AAO is a simple way to save time and increase efficiency.TRANSCRIPT

Why AAO?
It has a lot of important measurements.
AAO Overview2
My model has dozens of tolerances.
![Page 6: 3DCS Advanced Analyzer and Optimizer for Tolerance Analysis](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54becf614a7959a67f8b469c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What feature is my model most sensitive to?
Which tolerances contribute the most?
How can I save money?
How do I know I’m getting the best quality for my money?
AAO

Cost Optimization Assumptions
Measures
• Goal Value: check all spec limits, default is fine
Tolerances
• MaxTol/MinTol– Profile, MinTol = 1.0mm
– Position, MinTol = 0.5mm
• Locking– Tooling (no ability to change)
– Size (low influence on model)
• Cost– Profile tolerance costs 20% of Position tolerance
– All other tolerances equal

Quality Optimization Assumptions
Measures
• Goal Value: check all spec limits, default is fine
• Weight: set unimportant measures to zero
Tolerances
• MaxTol/MinTol– Profile, MinTol = 1.0mm
– Position, MinTol = 0.5mm
• Locking– Tooling (no ability to change)
– Size (low influence on model)
• Cost– Profile tolerance costs 20% of Position tolerance
– All other tolerances equal
Other
• Total Available Budget: estimated cost (assume unlimited to see best quality)

With an “unlimited” Budget, best achievable quality is -0.412 @ $8276.25
Assume an Available Budget of $5000, quality is -0.586
After Max/MinTol Adjustments with $5000 Budget, quality is -0.436
