The purpose of the Pattern Rigid Move is to assemble two rigid parts that use patterns of pins and holes as the secondary and tertiary locators. When Nominal Build is performed, the move routine will fit together the patterns of holes and pins.

Replacing Feature Tolerances, the GD&T Interface has been dramatically improved to make it easier to add tolerances to your model. The tolerance callouts are also helpful when running sensitivity, as individual callouts are used to identify the source of variation, making your analysis much more granular.

Excel can be used for a lot of equation-based applications. Many companies rely on it for their tolerance analysis; doing 1D stacks and stack-up analysis. For basic cases, this works great and can be a fast and effective way to get answers quickly, but as soon as products, models, and requirements become more complex, Excel falls flat.

Model Variants have been added to the new version of 3DCS. This much-requested feature allows users to designate different model builds within the same model. This reduces issues with version control, as well as removing the need for multiple cloned versions of the same model in order to simulate different processes, parts or tolerance schemes. Now, within the same model, users can define different assembly methods, tolerances or GD&T, and measurements for each variant, swapping between them with the push of a button.

Equation Measure - Learn how to make custom measurements in 3DCS based on equations, if/then logic, conditional logic, and other custom inputs and outputs.
Measure Equation uses feature locations, vectors, directions, or even other measurements as inputs and outputs a value based on various math operations. It also allows conditional operators in the form of "If... then... else..." statements. If there is an output that can't be determined with the standard measurement types, chances are the Measure Equation DLL will be able to determine the output.

Measurements are what give you your outputs in 3DCS. These measurements can be used to simulate the real methods of inspection; how a FARO arm will measure the parts, or a check gage or fixture, or can be simple point-to-point measurements to give you the final value.

Learn how to use Live Rendering in 3DEXPERIENCE along with 3DCS Spec Studies to display tolerance scenarios on your product. As part of the webinar, Daniel will show how to utilize the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform's Live Rendering to visualize gap and flush conditions in order to determine acceptable tolerance objectives. This will be compared to Spec Studies created from Tolerance Stack Up outputs, called Variation Studies, to see whether the objectives chosen by the design team can be met by the manufacturing engineer's specifications.

Reduce lead and launch time by eliminating or minimizing manual join & clamp sequence studies by determining the optimal join and clamp sequence from a candidate set.
Using sequence optimization improves the overall process by optimizing the travel path as part of the sequence set. This helps eliminate the problem of optimized sequences that ignore travel path and increase the cycle time to unacceptable levels.

Join Uli Decker from DCS partner CENIT and Gary Bell, senior dimensional engineer at DCS, as they demonstrate the purpose and value of dimensional management through easy to understand anecdotes and examples.
Key Takeaways:
1. What is dimensional management?
2. What are the contributors to dimensional management?
3. What is the value of dimensional management at the organization?
4. How does 3DCS support dimensional management?

Effective communication with suppliers is difficult. Sending information via email can be disjointed, lead to missed messages and files, and is open to data insecurity.
A connected method of communication - providing instructions to suppliers for measurement and standards, and the supplier a means of reporting measurements and providing documents (Ppap, FAIR) back to the OEM - is essential to an effective supplier quality assurance program.
This webinar will demonstrate three methods of communicating with suppliers - sharing documents, correlating measurements, and negotiating tolerances.
