Graphics Area Display of TolAnalyst Results

TolAnalyst results are displayed visually in the graphics area. Warning messages appear if there are potential problems with the setup and evaluation.

Graphics Area Display

The graphics area display for the minimum and maximum worst case result includes:

A callout stating the result, attached at the point in which the result occurs

Red for Min and blue for Max
An outline of the resulting actual feature displayed in yellow
Arrowheads directed from the nominal feature to the actual feature. Under Analysis Data and Display, select MAX or MIN to toggle between displays.



Hover over an arrowhead to display a tooltip that shows the corresponding displacement (D), vector (V), and point (P) coordinate.

Warnings

When TolAnalyst evaluates the study, warning messages appear if there are potential problems with the setup and evaluation. When TolAnalyst identifies the following condition, consider the results with caution.

Incomplete Tolerance Chains

This warning appears when a complete tolerance chain does not exist between the two measurement features.

When performing a study on the distance between the two holes in this assembly, a warning appears about an incomplete tolerance chain.
The warning appears because in the parts, there are no dimensions or tolerances controlling the location of the hole, which is under constrained.
