3DCS Analyst Graphic Tolerance Simulation SoftwareAll the same benefits of 3DCS Designer, plus an extensive set of tools and features that provide greater flexibility to the engineering analyst allowing for even the most complex systems to be analyzed. 3DCS Analyst for CATIA V5 is the ideal tool for detailed tolerance simulation modeling. 3DCS Analyst allows manufacturers to thoroughly appraise design, fabrication and assembly robustness by quickly evaluating GD&T, assembly tooling and build sequencing well ahead of production release.
3DCS Analyst CAA V5 Based is a seamless integration of Dimensional Control Systems 3D tolerance analysis and visualization technologies into the V5 environment. This knowledgeware tool takes advantage of the native CATIA V5 Functional Tolerancing & Annotation (FTA) bringing the latest concurrent engineering methodologies to users in a single CATIA window. Subsequent design modifications to CAD geometry are automatically reflected in the tolerance analysis model.
Graphically viewing the variation of all parts, assemblies and fixtures in true 3D animation and predicting tolerance accumulation allows the evaluation of design and assembly concepts early in the product development cycle. Product designs and manufacturing processes can be optimized for dimensional integrity long before investment in costly design changes and tool manufacture. The end result is reduced engineering and manufacturing costs and improved product quality.
Optimize Product Designs and Processes:
The cost of design errors increases dramatically the later they are detected in the design/manufacturing cycle. 3DCS CAA V5 Based solutions allow CATIA V5 users to evaluate design and assembly concepts up front, where problem areas can be identified and corrected early in the product development cycle. Optimizing for dimensional integrity improves the robustness of design and processes by maximizing part tolerances while controlling the dimensional assembly requirements of the final assembly.
Reduce Cycle Time & Rework Costs:
Shorten development time, accelerate time-to-market and reduce costs by utilizing the capability of 3DCS CAA V5 Based for digital prototyping. By maximizing part tolerances while controlling dimensional assembly requirements, manufacturing costs can be reduced with less rework to tools and gages, minimized scrap and reduced number of warranty defects. 3DCS CAA V5 Based reduces your bottom line and significantly improves product quality by validating that parts fit and function together before production starts.
3DCS CAA V5 Based is a new step in Dassault Systemes strategy to build the most comprehensive set of applications dedicated to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). This collaboration will provide customers, within the Design and Manufacturing Industries such as automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and machinery, with unmatched capabilities for achieving dimensional integrity and product quality.
