The Tolerance analysis is necessary for any mechanical product since it affects the precision
and functional performance of the mechanical system during assembly. Tolerance …

Tolerance analysis methods, which are important to achieve a balance between
manufacturing costs and functional requirements, have been studied and improved over the …

Purpose This study aims to develop an optimal tolerance allocation strategy involves
integrating the unique transfer (UT) approach and the difficulty coefficient evaluation (DCE) …

In concurrent engineering era, the collaboration between engineering and manufacturing is
a vital condition for remaining competitive. For that, an interactive computer-aided design …

During the design stage, the ideal simulation and visualization of the mechanical
assemblies behavior require the modeling of parts with dimensional and geometrical …

In the design step, the realistic modeling of the product represents an industrial requirement
and a digital muck up (DMU) improvement. Thus, the tolerance integration in the computer …

Product assemblability and functional behavior are affected by geometric deviations. These
deviations consist of manufacturing errors and part deformation defects caused by external …

Polytope-based tolerance analysis has shown a great potential in the Computer Aided
Tolerancing (CAT) field. Previous works have considered form defects into this model, which …

Design engineers play a vital role in conceptualizing and designing an assembly. The
assembly is then disintegrated into several subassemblies and geometric tolerance symbols …

Nowadays, the tolerancing integration in computer-aided design (CAD) tools remains
among the major goals of mechanical manufacturers. In the virtual product development …
