General

•In CM Sequence Evaluator the row number is now displayed for the selected moves in the Trials. (64991)

•All GD&T Size Tolerance ranges will be applied correctly from the Optimized Tolerance Range. (64792).

•CM Sequence Evaluator Inactive moves will have their check-boxes read-only. They will be grayed out, unchecked, and uncheckable.(65119)

General

Datum Optimizer - a new tool designed to determine the optimal datums from a candidate set with the goal of minimizing the rigid part variation or compliant part deformation.

Sequence Optimizer - a new tool designed to reduce lead and launch time by eliminating or minimizing manual join/clamp sequence studies. The Sequence Optimizer determines the optimal join/clamp sequence from a candidate set of joins/clamps. Users may optimize clamp sequence or joining sequence.

Critical Tolerance Identifier (CTI):

•Enhanced CTI to function when only Contributor Analysis has been run. (68286)

Gear Modeling - is a new Dialog-based utility to facilitate the gear modeling and calculate Angle and Axial Backlash.

Collision Detection - Is a new tool which automatically generates Part Distance measurements that calculates the Min Distance, Interference and Clearance between the selected parts.

Part Distance Measure - Is a new measure to measure the distance between 2 or more parts between the parts in "From" list and "To" List and gives the minimum distance between them. It internally uses all the meshed features on each part, calculating the distance between each feature and each mesh node.

General

Issues Resolved (Solidworks)

Dialog

•Fixed the Mechanical Help Icon disappearing bug in Solidworks. (68285)

Critical Tolerance Identifier (CTI)

•The Critical Tolerance Identifier window will apply the Factor Precision to the Range and the measure results. (68000)

Moves

•Nominal Build will build to the Motion Move's Beginning Position. (66142)

•The Range and Offset values for Rand 2 will be displayed correctly for Mechanical Moves. (65315)

•Model Nominal Position will build the model to Motion Move's Beg_Pos.(64630).

•Use Point As option is now hidden in the setting tab for all Joints.(67832)

•Revolute and Prismatic Joint will now use Planes to define direction. (67817)

•Sub Assembly constraints extraction will automatically create a break Part constraint to make 3DCS Moves work similar to CAD

Enhancements

•The new Locator Sensitivity Analyzer (LSA) has been added to AAO.

Tolerances:

•DCS size tolerances will now correctly update when editing from AAO dialog

•GeoFactor and AAO now have options to change the Meas Sigma number used to calculate the measure ranges.

Measurements:

•Changing the weight value in CTI is saved upon closing the dialog.

Dialogs:

•AAO dialogs now allow for double clicking on a tolerance or a measure to open their respective dialogs.

•Changed AAO dialog "Update Tolerance" to "Update Tolerances"

Issues Resolved

•resolved geofactor analyzer contributors per part issue.

•resolved geofactor analyzer summary page incomplete output issue.
