          Perform 1D Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis More Efficiently with EZtol

          Sigmetrix’s EZtol enables users to create 1D tolerance stack-ups to analyze the impact of tolerances on assemblies and identify critical contributors to dimensional variation much more quickly than using spreadsheet-based tools.
          KEY FEATURES OF EZTOL

          Get Detailed Assessments of How Variations Affects Assembly Tolerances

          Tolerance analyses are most often performed in spreadsheets, where manual calculations can become intricate and prone to error. EZtol streamlines and automates 1D tolerance stack-up analyses, offering specialized calculations and visualizations that provide more detail than manual methods.

          • Provides dedicated tools and features tailored for analyzing tolerance stack-ups, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in calculations.
          • Get detailed assessments of how variations in individual part dimensions affect overall assembly tolerances.
          • Calculate worst-case, RSS, and general statistical analyses with popular quality metrics, reported as Cpk, Sigma, DPMO, or % yield.
          • Define multiple 1D tolerance analyses based directly on your CAD models
          • Generate a concise summary table that outlines the specific objectives and corresponding results for each individual stack-up analysis conducted, organized in a clear format, allowing users to quickly assess whether the set requirements have been met.
          • Get verification of compliance with design specifications and standards, reducing the likelihood of costly errors in manufacturing.
          • See graphical representations of tolerance stack-ups, making it easier to visualize how variations in dimensions affect the overall assembly.
          • Generate clear visualizations of tolerance stack-ups and highlight critical areas that need attention, aiding in quick decision-making and problem-solving.
          • Use an intuitive interface that allows users to quickly create and analyze tolerance stack-ups without a steep learning curve.
          • Algorithms incorporated into the tool evaluate the 3D relationships of the part features included in the stack-up to determine and alert the user when 3D effects likely result in more variation than what is being predicted with the 1D assumption of the analyses

          MAKE TOLERANCE ANALYSIS MORE EFFICIENT

          Streamlined 1D Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis

          EZtol is designed for engineers to perform 1D tolerance stack-up analyses efficiently—but that’s not all. EZtol doesn't just streamline workflows; it revolutionizes them, significantly reducing manufacturing costs and minimizing rework by ensuring parts align flawlessly.

          • Eliminates the need for manual setup of formulas and calculations, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
          • Goes beyond simple 1D analyses, warning users of potential oversights in stack-up calculations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of 3D effects that may impact production variations.
          • Stores dimensions and their associated tolerances for each individual part within the software, eliminating the need for users to repeatedly input these dimensions and tolerances whenever performing multiple stack-up analyses on the same design, saving time and minimizing errors.
          • When users modify a tolerance value used in multiple analyses, EZtol automatically updates them all with the revised tolerance, ensuring consistency and accuracy throughout the design process without the user having to manually adjust each individual analysis.
          • Designed to function as a standalone application, allowing users to import and work with CAD models without needing access to the CAD software itself.

          Save Time and Reduce Errors by Working Directly with CAD

          EZtol works with various CAD software, including popular platforms like CATIA®, SOLIDWORKS, and Siemens NX. These integrations allow for seamless data transfer and collaboration, enhancing the overall design and analysis process for engineers and designers.

          CATIA®
          Sigmetrix offers a dedicated interface that allows engineers and designers to import CATIA models directly into the EZtol environment. Engineers can define tolerances, run analyses, and verify the dimensional variations of their designs using EZtol's tools, all while leveraging the CATIA model as the basis for their analysis.
          SOLIDWORKS
          EZtol allows users to open SOLIDWORKS models directly to ensure that the 3D geometry of the assembly is accurately represented for subsequent tolerance analysis. EZtol also supports reading PMI for SOLIDWORKS CAD models, meaning part files can be utilized in the tolerance stack-up analysis.
          Siemens NX
          Users can open NX models directly into the EZtol environment, facilitating tolerance stack-up analyses and comprehensive studies on NX assemblies within the EZtol software. This ensures a smooth and collaborative approach to tolerance analysis, leveraging the capabilities of Siemens NX and EZtol to streamline the design process.
