What's New in 3DCS?
8.0.0.1 October - 2023
Below are a list of changes, enhancements and resolved issues based on the entire 3DCS suite or a specific CAD system available with 3DCS. Please review the list of changes and don't hesitate to ask about a specific change.
Any text written with a teal highlight refers to any Simulation Output change. In other words, some calculation changes were made to either a distribution, a measurement output or DLL result. This could result in minor changes to a previous Model Simulation output.

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.
➢Building a 3DCS model using the Variation Analyst tool ➢Learn how to use Variation Analyst with one of the available tutorials: oAnalyst Tutorial: Learn about creating Rigid Body moves on basic and complex features, adding GD&T, viewing Monte Carlo, GeoFactor, and the Contributor Analysis

Enhancements
Contributor Analysis•While the model is set to run RSS or Range-Control, both settings will deviate Cylindricity on a feature at its sections. (70936) •The calculation will correctly include the Feature Points and HLM Points used in the tolerance and report in the Contributor results and Visualize Effect. (71261). GD&T•Added support to GD&T Orientation with Edges. Only applicable on straight-line edges. (70956) •Fixed an issue with Torus Minor Diameter GD&T showing incorrect size deviation. (71185). Dialog•The Preferences dialog will not crash when it tries to close Deviate or Animate dialogs. (71141) •The Pick Part button in the Tree Link Wizard will now stay in the correct spot on dialog re-size. (71278) •Fixed an issue with Link by Exact Name option, in the Tree Link Wizard, to only link if the part names match 100%.(71279) •Right click menu is now added back to the Relationship wizard tree. (71320) Moves•If you have multiple Thermal Scaling move in a sequence every move will take the original nominal temperature to apply the thermal. (71177) •The Loop Move Float (dcsMvLoopFloat) DLL is now integrated into the Iteration move and can be activated with the 'Loop Float On' check box.(71165) Measures•Running simulation on a Feature measure with interference will not get stuck in Exact Mode. (71224) User-DLL•Fixed an issue with Worst-Case DLL causing location or orientation GD&T to fail while running and caused the Worst-Case Simulation to stop running. (71222) Generate Report•Fixed an issue with HTML report showing all Monte Carlo settings when only default settings are shown. (71169) •The PPT report will now be taken correctly with images being displayed properly. (71263) •Fix the issue where Right click menu for Cover page was opening the correct page. (71317)

Issues Resolved (Creo)
General•Fixed the slow update model and animation issue. (71067) •Fixed the graphics refresh issue. Clicking points from the tree will not hide the points in the graphics.(71175) •The Dialogs will no more crash on having multiple models opened. (71178) •Units mismatch warning will no more show up for assemblies mixed with meters. (71285) •Fixed a regression on handling creo groups and to not pop up the Tree Linking Wizard. (71280) •Fixed an issue on model where Update Geometry was not getting saved.(71281)

Issues Resolved (NX)
3DCS will correctly extract one set of GD&T, if the GD&T is created in more than one NX View. (71239) |
Model Navigator•Selecting Part from the CATIA Tree will highlight that part in the 3DCS Tree and vice versa. (71249) · •Fixed a crash when a point is selected in the Model Navigator while doing Update Model. (71284) Excel Create•Fixed an issue with Read from Spreadsheet while the Replace, Add, Update, Delete setting was active. (71210)
