TolAnalyst Overview
TolAnalyst™ is a tolerance analysis tool used to study the effects tolerances and assembly methods have on dimensional stack-up between two features of an assembly. The result of each study is a minimum and maximum tolerance stack, a minimum and maximum root sum squared (RSS) tolerance stack, and a list of contributing features and tolerances.

TolAnalyst Study
TolAnalyst performs a tolerance analysis called a study, which you create using a four-step procedure:
- Measurement. Establish the measurement, which is a linear distance between two DimXpert features.
- Assembly Sequence. Select the ordered set of parts to establish a tolerance chain between the two measurement features. The selected parts form the “simplified assembly”.
- Assembly Constraints. Define how each part is placed or constrained into the simplified assembly.
- Analysis Results. Evaluate and review the minimum and maximum worst case tolerance stacks.
