3DCS Variation Analyst is a powerful dimensional analysis tool that predicts the amounts of variation and highlights the causes for part and process variation in multi-stage assemblies. It empowers manufacturers to prevent build problems by quickly evaluating part tolerances, assembly tooling and sequencing ahead of time in the product development stage, so that desired fit and function specifications are achieved in production.

Enhancements
Distributions•Changed the default parameter range for 2D-Trapezoid distribution to [0, 0.5]. (74932) Model Variants•When running a simulation with multiple Model Variants, the Monte Carlo and Contributor Analysis now correctly display each result separately. (74780) Tolerances•Offset is removed from Circular Tolerance range for 2D Normal, Uniform Triangle and Trapezoid distributions. (74947) Features•Resolved an issue where the dialogs displayed the incorrect slot size. (74583) Display•Resolved the issue with the Model Navigator display on high-resolution screens. (74178) Report•Reintroduced the Animate Measure feature to the HTML Report, which had been missing since the 8.1.0.0 release. (74725) •Fixed the Measure Sigma number to report the correct and updated number in the Report. (74890)

Issues Resolved (NX)
NX useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.Animation Accelerator•Prevented HSF creation for Geometry from the top assembly in the Animation Accelerator module. (74744) •Resolved an issue causing incorrect label display in the Animation Accelerator module. (74858) Features•Coordinate Points and Feature Points will be correctly converted to a CAD Point. (74850) Write to Excel•After Reading from Excel and Update Model, edited Tolerance range or Measure direction values are kept. (74523) |
SOLIDWORKS useful topics: See more topics on Best Practices and FAQ on the DCS Community.•Creating GD&T with DimXPert or MBD. Animation Accelerator•Resolved an issue causing incorrect label display in the Animation Accelerator module. (74858) Update Model•Fixed a crash with Remove 3DCS Data. (74759) Extract GD&T Measure•Fixed the Extract GD&T Measures, which caused the DRF to change for the extracted GD&T. (74759) |
