DIFFERENT TOLERANCE ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS

ENVENTIVE CONCEPT

2D tolerance analysis to optimize GD&T

During pre-CAD and early-CAD design phases mechanical designers gain immediate insights on the impacts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) decisions on a product’s fit for assembly and functionality, such as forces, moments, gaps, motions, and more. Rapid what-if simulations of requirement failure rates enables designers to quickly converge on nominal dimensional and tolerancing values that optimally balance costs and functional performance.

ENVENTIVE 3D&T

3D tolerance analysis to verify CAD models

Picking up from Concept, 3D&T (currently in beta testing) opens 3D CAD models during late-CAD and post-CAD design phases to analyze the impacts of tolerancing decisions on failure rates for assembly fit and product functionality. Designers can quickly verify that a CAD model’s GD&T values will meet product requirements.

ENVENTIVE 360

Enterprise tolerance management

Enventive 360 (currently in beta testing) is for enterprise-level verification of GD&T for fit and functionality across stackups, product families, and with real-time metrology. For use within teams of mechanical designers, manufacturing engineers, and quality/metrology engineers.

With Enventive 360, teams can simulate the impacts of as-manufactured geometries and dimensions on fit and functionality to support optimal decision making for engineering changes and acceptance of supplier components.
