New reasoning algorithm for assembly tolerance specifications and corresponding tolerance zone types

Y Zhang, Z Li, J Gao, J Hong - Computer-Aided Design, 2011 - Elsevier
When designing a mechanical product, how to determine its assembly tolerance
specifications (ATS) and tolerance zone types (TZT) is a complex design problem, in which
designers need to consider comprehensively the functional requirement, geometric feature,
tolerance principle, and so on. Therefore, it has high requirements for designers. Meanwhile,
the design and development of a complex assembly need to be done jointly by designers.
This will cause difficulties for the overall coordination of tolerance design, which affects the …
