 1DCS (One dimensional Tolerance Analysis Tool)
1DCS is a World Class Linear Tolerance Analysis Tool that allows users to quickly develop and analyze various design objectives through the comparison of different tolerancing schemes. 1DCS offers users the ability to allocate tolerances to determine the component capability required to meet overall assembly objectives (Roll-down or Top-Down), as well as determine the overall assembly variation based on actual tolerance capability (Roll-Up or Bottom-Up). Studies testing Alternative Tolerancing Schemes and Assembly Sequences can help to identify the most "Robust" Design & Manufacturing Alternatives.
1DCS has a simple, graphical user interface that is very easy to use. Requires no or minimal training to use, but the output greatly helps in key decision making process.
Graphical User Interface:
1DCS is a Graphics-Based Package.It employs a Graphical User Interface that allows for rapid development of tolerance studies, and requires a minimal amount of effort to learn. Anyone having basic computer skills can perform tolerance analysis.
Predict & Display Assembly Variation:
Because 1DCS is Graphical in nature, The assembly and assembly sequence are displayed in a descriptive tree and histograms are used to graphically display the assembly tolerance, with red bars indicating the out of spec condition.
Complete Statistical Data:
1DCS uses a Random Number Generator to assign a value for each tolerance during each and every Simulated Build. The simulation method can be selected from Monte Carlo, RSS, or Worst-Case, and users can import actual part data for even more accurate results. The Distribution Type for each Tolerance can be select from a list of distribution-types or a best-fit curve can be calculated to match your data. The output of each simulation comes in the form of Complete Statistical Results that include, Standard Deviation, % Out of Spec, Tolerance Ranges, and a Histogram that graphically displays the distribution for each measurement in the model
Complete Assembly Diagrams:
Determining the best assembly sequence is paramount to simultaneous engineering. To make it possible, 1DCS uses a simple assembly tree to display the relationships between parts and sub-assemblies. Each part, sub-assembly, and fixture is identified in the correct assembly sequence and each element in the assembly tree is assigned it's associated tolerance. This tree serves as a quick and user-friendly interface through which the user can perform required studies.
Automatic Report Formatting & Database Connectivity:
1DCS is a Graphics-Based Package.It employs a Graphical User Interface that allows for rapid development of tolerance studies, and requires a minimal amount of effort to learn. Anyone having basic computer skills can perform tolerance analysis.
DCS-DFC Datum Flow Chain
Visually Analyze Dimensional Requirements:-
A Datum Flow Chain (DFC) is a graphical diagram that defines the relationships between assembled parts, assembly fixtures, tooling and equipment all within one model and provides analysis along any selected 1-D path of a Cartesian coordinate system. "Master" DCS-DFC models of complete assemblies are created and then accessed by many users, allowing for "what if" studies to be performed on particular areas of interest. With an intuitive graphical user interface employing "point & click" operations, DCS-DFC is a premier tool for facilitating assembly-first product design where part tolerances can be optimized for cost reduction.
DCS-DFC's easy-to-read dialog boxes are used to identify part datums, locating features, and control tolerances for part features within the assembly. A DCS-DFC uses this input information to predict the variation for each defined measurement specification. Unlike typical 1-D analysis solutions, DCS-DFC allows users to link feature tolerances to more than one specification or measurement and analyze multiple assembly measurements of a complete system within a single report. Statistical calculations such as standard deviation, percent out of specification, Pp and Ppk, confidence intervals and many more are calculated and displayed by DCS-DFC in a variety of graphic output formats for generating reports.
Business Values:-
Utilize graphic schematic modeling of complete 3-D assemblies with an organized presentation tool for describing assembled part relationships. Analyze along any selected 1-D path using several methods: Worst Case (straight stack), RSS (Root-Sum-Square) and Monte Carlo Simulation. Analysis results are represented graphically in the model and analysis outputs can be reported in a variety of formats.

3DCS Analyst
3DCS is a World Class 3D Tolerance Simulation Tool that allows you to model the effect of variation on an assembly, Determine the "Robustness" of your design, and test Alternative Tolerancing Schemes. 3DCS is a True 3D Tolerance Modeling system that visually depicts variation in your design, and statistically simulate production of your "Virtual Assemblies."
Modeling Variation Graphically:
3DCS employs a 3-Dimensional Display that is unique in its class. The User Interface is similar to many high-end CAD systems and allows you to Pan, Zoom, and Manipulate the True 3-D Parts and Assemblies. Parts can be imported into the software from almost any CAD system as IGES data, or simple parts can be created directly in the Software.
Easy to Use Menus:
3DCS is designed to run on the Windows operating systems, so it makes full use of the Simple Windows User Interface. Clear Menus and Toolbars allow for the quick generation of models. An Engineer or designer familiar with CAD systems can be modeling parts and assemblies in just 3-4 days.
Visualize Variation in Real Time:
Because 3DCS is Graphical in nature, you will actually be able to see the variation as it is simulated. Features vary based on GD&T callouts, parts move in their assemblies, and measurements change. If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine the value of viewing an animated assembly sequence and assembly variation!
Complete Statistical Data:
3DCS uses a Monte Carlo Random Number Generator to assign a value for each tolerance during each and every Simulated Build. You can select a Distribution Type for each Tolerance from a list of distributions-type that include, Normal, Weibull, Uniform, and User-Defined. The output of each simulation comes in the form of Complete Statistical Results that include, Standard Deviation, % Out of Spec, Tolerance Ranges, Cp, Cpk, and a Histogram that graphically displays the distribution for each measurement in the model.
Complete Assembly Diagrams:
Following an exact assembly sequence is critical when modeling variation in an assembly. To make that possible, 3DCS uses an assembly tree to display the relationships between parts and sub-assemblies. Each part, sub-assembly, and fixture is identified in the correct assembly sequence and each element in the assembly tree shows it's associated moves, measures and tolerances for quick assessment of the model.
Key Contributors to Variation:
Determining the Root-Cause of Variation in an assembly is one of the most important aspect of Variation Simulation. That's why 3DCS identifies Key Contributor for each and every measurement in your model. 3DCS provides designers and engineers an analysis of the extent and source of variation in a model. This allows for Pareto Analysis, as well as a study of Sensitivity in the model. Predicting dimensional variations due to part tolerances as well as assembly process sequences are significant early in the design process before investing into tooling, prototyping and production fixtures and inspection gages.
