Modern Approach to Documentation in Manufacturing
Include manufacturing information in your 3D model for downstream applications. In this course you will learn how to add Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and other manufacturing information to the model. GD&T annotations on the 3D model describe the tolerances, controls, and allowable variation in the model. The term Model-Based Definition (MBD) refers to a fully defined 3D model. The annotated 3D model is often sent directly to manufacturing to create the physical part.
You will also learn how to perform tolerance analysis to derive cost impacts of dimensional variation. That includes: tolerance stackup analysis to reduce tolerance issues during manufacturing by running an analysis of the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) in a 3D mode; Advanced statistical results to calculate the worst case, RSS, and statistical results of the analysis. Report metrics for statistical results as Cpk, Sigma, DPMO, or Yield and generate reports to communicate analysis results and cost-control efforts to manufacturing and quality engineers.
Course modules
In this module, you will learn how to annotate a model, share it, analyze tolerance and relationships in an assembly, and then share the annotation.
In this module, you will learn to define feature datums, add tolerance ranges, place surface callouts, and rewind the tolerance adviser.
In this module, you will learn how to share annotation files, view the files, export CAD data, and then use the annotation in a 2D drawing.
In this module, you will learn to set up tolerance analysis, validate the settings, set up an analysis using the assembly constraints, modify the tolerances, and then compare results.
