Based on the mathematical definition of tolerance, a 3D tolerancing system, 3DTS, is presented with its design prin- ciple, system architecture and key functions. The following functional modules, tolerance modeling, semantics interpretation, 3D tolerance analysis, are described in detail. To make the tolerancing system robust and efficient, many techniques such as hierar- chical tolerance representation, rule-based evaluation and non-intersection determination of tolerance zone have been devised. Tested by many samples, this system shows good robustness and practicability.展开更多

There are many tolerance types, the relations between which are very complicated. In addition, the different principles of tolerance make study of tolerance difficult; and there may be various meanings or interpretation for the same type of tolerance beeanse of the literal definition. In this work, latest unambiguous mathematical definition was applied to study, explain and clarify: ( 1 ) the formation and representation of tolerance zone, and (2) the formation and representation of variational elements ; after which, the mathematical models of syrmmetry of different tolerance principles and different interpretations were derived. An example is given to illustrate the application of these models in tolerance analysis.展开更多
