ETI 2008 Public Workshops

Solid Model Tolerancing Workshop
(Based on ASME Y14.41-2003)

Solid Model Tolerancing workshop PDF

Exclusively from ETI Understand the fundamental definitions, concepts, and methods from the new ASME Y14.41-2003 Standard. the Solid Model Tolerancing Workshop will help you to understand the benefits of a math-based product development process.

2008 Schedule Westland, Michigan May 21

You’ll learn: • How to use solid models to eliminate 2D drawings • How to apply GD&T to solid models • The new symbols and conventions used in Y14.41 • The changes required in GD&T when tolerancing solid models • The annotated model method and the drawing plus model method from Y14.41 • Six factors to determine which method is best for your organization • The issues and challenges encountered when adopting the tolerancing of solid models • How to use the flexibility in Y14.41 for a practical transition to a math-based development process • Six organizational issues that must be addressed when implementing solid models to replace drawings Course Developer: Alex Krulikowski, Past Chairman of the ASME Y14.41 Committee on Solid Model Tolerancing Our Solid Model Tolerancing course was developed by an expert on the subject: ETI president, Alex Krulikowski served as the Chairman of the Y14.41 Committee. The new standard advances the capabilities of Y14.5, Dimensioning and Tolerancing, the widely used standard pertaining to 2D engineering drawings. Y14.41 defines the exceptions as well as additional requirements to existing ASME standards for using product definition data or drawings in 3D digital format.

About the Course
The Y14.41 Standard establishes requirements for preparing, organizing and interpreting 3D digital product images. It also provides a guide for CAD software developers working on improved modeling and annotation practices for the engineering community. The Solid Model Tolerancing course is not based on any single CAD system or product development process. It covers concepts and standards that can be applied with a number of CAD systems.

• Learn about the ASME Y14.41 Standard and how to apply it in your organization
• Learn about the status, issues, challenges, and plans for model tolerancing in industry
• Gain insights on math-based product development and how it can benefit your organization
  
  • Reduced dimension drawings can save 20-50% time over conventional drawings
  • Annotated models can save 50-70% time over conventional drawings

Who Should Attend
This course intended for designers, engineers, and managers who are implementing math-based product development processes.

Workshop Highlights
The Solid Model Tolerancing course will help you to:

• Understand the benefits of a math-based product development process
• Be familiar with the ASME Y14.41-2003 Standard on Digital Product Definition Data Sets
• Understand how to create model and drawing (reduced dimension drawings) as a data set in accordance with Y14.41
• Understand how to annotate models in accordance with Y14.41
• Understand gaps, issues and challenges facing industry in transitioning to a math-based product development process
