What is it?
3DCS Advanced Analyzer/Optimizer is an add-on module to 3DCS comprised of two core functionalities:
1. 2. Analyzer: An equation based analysis output that precisely identifies the amount and source of variation within an assembly. Optimizer: A tool for optimizing tolerances to achieve best quality based on a minimal cost or optimize quality based on a fixed budget.

What does Analyzer do?

3DCS Advanced Analyzer creates an equation of the entire 3DCS model and displays the inputs (contributors/tolerances) and outputs (measurement results) and their relationships (Coefficients of Influence) in a graphical interactive matrix .

How does Analyzer work?

The 3DCS model is converted into an equation based model where:
1. Tolerance changes can be made in a graphical interactive matrix providing instantaneous feedback of updated results. Analyzer 2. Analysis Results are viewed in Numerical or Graphical format. 3. Using a color-coded matrix of the Sensitivity Index, user can interactively emphasize contributors that are of great importance to the measurements.

Optimizer Overview
Optimizer
What does Optimizer do?

1.
Optimize tolerances to achieve best quality at a minimum cost.

Allocate largest possible tolerances (larger tolerance = less cost) while still meeting dimensional objectives.
2.
Optimize quality for a given fixed budget.
Optimizer cost to Allocate largest possible tolerance at the least amount of

achieve Target Cost. In this case it may be possible that dimensional objectives are not met.
How does Optimizer work?

User inputs tolerance cost, as well as the total system cost based on calculation method, and the Optimizer will automatically solve for optimized tolerances and validate feasibility.
