Tom Kalkman Quality Solutions Product Management Variation Analysis Users Conference Call Smarter decisions, better products.
Agenda Introduction Tc 10 & 10.1 review and what s new in Tc 10.1.1 Functional demonstrations Looking beyond Tc 10.1.1 PLM World Q & A Page 2
Introduction The purpose this call is to... Update existing customers on the latest features in the upcoming release and solicit Beta Testers (when applicable) Provide a glimpse of what s coming in new releases Answer submitted questions of general interest to the user community These calls will be aligned with major (i.e. 10.0), point (i.e. 10.1), and service pack (i.e. 10.1.1) Teamcenter releases Page 3
Variation Analysis New Feature Roadmap Customer Value Expanded linear & angular plus minus tolerancing Introduction of angular plus minus tolerancing Assembly operation float enhancements Enhanced feature usability Assembly Operation Float Enhancements Enhanced Linear Plus Minus Support Angular Plus Minus Tol Enhanced Feature Usability LPM & APM Unilateral / Unequal Bilateral Zone Assy Op Enhancements Circular Plane Feature Feature Name Display Enhanced Component Flex PMI Reconciliation Trapezoid Distribution Support Tapered Tab / Slot Support Form Tolerance Suppression Page 4
±1 and ±2 Tolerance Sigma Range 10.1 Options for ±1 and ±2 sigma will be added to the Tolerance Sigma Range Simulation preferences Feature preferences Default value will continue to be ± 3 sigma Page 5
Assembly Operation Float Enhancements 10.1 Option for Extreme distribution added in global assembly operation float preferences Override global float distribution option added to individual ConJoin assembly operations Options are Normal, Uniform, & Extreme Ability to modify float settings also available in Search / Modify Page 6
Enhanced Linear Plus Minus Tolerancing Support 10.1 Enable linear PM applied to planes to behave like surface profile control Provide orientation & form variation, not just location Allow GD&T form and orientation refinements of linear plus minus Allow unilateral and unequal bilateral tolerance zones available in 10.1.1 Enable linear plus minus applied to slots / tabs to include orientation as well as location variation Page 7
Angular Plus Minus 10.1 Introducing supporting for angular plus minus tolerances May be applied to plane or hole / pin features Cannot be used in conjunction with any other GD&T controls Page 8
Enhanced Feature Usability 10.1 Enhance the Feature Properties dialog to include first, previous, next, last, & create new buttons Improves navigation usability and decrease feature creation time (similar to what is in measurement operations today). A Where Used? list box containing all the operations which reference the feature Page 9
Tolerance Inactivate 10.1 Enables tolerances to be inactivated at the part / assembly level Assembly / measurement operations not impacted Part with inactive tolerances will have a monochrome icon color Inactive tolerances will have a yellow tolerance annotation background Page 10
Stretchable Assembly Operation Dialogs 10.1 Page 11
Point Creation Enhancements 10.1 Add two new point creation buttons to the VA Element toolbar Create point from 3D Measurement Create point on a curve Note: This will be available only for XTBrep geometry (JTBrep not supported) Page 12
Pin Pin Constraint 10.1 Pin / pin constraint pair needed to simulate operations such as coaxial bonded lens Axis alignment only, no float applied Pin Feature Page 13 Pin Feature
LPM & APM Unilateral / Unequal Bilateral Zone 10.1.1 Supported zone types include: Bilateral, Unilateral / unequal bilateral Limit Planes / slots / tabs: enable the application of unilateral, unequal bilateral, and limit zones for linear plus and angular minus tolerance zones Holes / Pins: Enable the application of unilateral, unequal bilateral, and limit zones for linear plus minus tolerance zones only Only bilateral tolerance zones will be valid for angular plus minus tolerances Page 14
Assy Op Functional Enhancements 10.1.1 Enhance intelligence for automatically determining feature constraint pairs Introduce new intelligence for automatically determining constraint pair sequence Display constraint type: primary, secondary, tertiary Display move type: planar primary or axial primary Validation improvements Page 15
Circular Plane Feature 10.1.1 Add option for circular planar feature in addition to current rectangular More desirable feature representation for tooling surface representation Current Implementation Proposed Implementation Page 16
Feature Name / Description Annotation Display 10.1.1 Enable display of feature name / description as an annotation in the 3D Viewing Window to aid in report generation Enabled by check box in preferences Page 17
Enhanced Simulation Rejection Info 10.1.1 When a simulation is rejected, addition info is included in the rejection report including: Assembly operations impacted Feature pairs impacted Number of rejection occurrences Maximum interference Page 18
10.1.1 Functional Demonstrations Best viewed in full-screen mode Page 19
Tapered Tab / Slot Support 11.1 Slots & tabs with taper now supported Feature definition process remains unchanged Taper angle may be toleranced Taper comprehended in assembly operations Page 20
Form Tolerance Suppression Option 11.1 Enables form tolerances to be suppressed or turned off Model debugging aid Enables VSA to run in a simplified mode which is more desirable for some customers Applied to both MC and HLM simulations Implemented as a check box in the Advanced Simulation Preferences Page 21
PMI Reconciliation 11.1 Enable PMI extracted from JT to be updated Extension of existing feature reconciliation functionality Notification of feature geometry and/or PMI changes will be provided to user User will be required to take action on whether to apply the PMI change or not Page 22
Enhanced Component Flexibility 11.1 Next generation solution: increase functionality & usability Embed meshing & FE solving capability in Variation Analysis Leverage Siemens FEMAP and Nastran technology Eliminates need to link to FE results files Enables a 90% reduction in what if analyses that require changes to load cases / boundary conditions Page 23
Trapezoid Distribution 11.1 Add support for trapezoid-shaped distribution Width determines the trapezoid shape 0: Triangular 1: Uniform Shift determines how skewed the distribution is left or right -1: Shifted to the left 1: Shifted to the right Page 24
PLM World: June 16-19, Orlando, FL Page 25
