Tolerance analysis and variational solid geometry
Abstract
The fields of tolerancing and assembly analysis have depended for decades on ad hoc, shop floor methods. This causes serious problems when subjected toleranced designs to automated, analytical methods. This project attempted to further the formalization and mathematization of tolerancing by extending the concept of the Maximum Material Part. A software system was envisioned that would guide designers in the use of appropriate tolerance specifications and then create software models of Maximum Material Parts from the toleranced nominal parts.
