This Advanced Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) workshop is for those with some previous exposure to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
In this two-part workshop, Part 1 will be a review of the GD&T symbols and rules. In Part 2 more advanced topics are covered, including an update about the revised Y14.5-2018 standard. We’ll also discuss the proper application of tolerances for designers, including a short module using a tolerance stack spreadsheet.
Course Highlights Include
- Learn the less-common GD&T tools: translation, datum shift, resultant condition, all over boundary
- Determine which datum features to choose based on function
- Select proper GD&T symbols for a mock design
- Perform tolerance stack calculations for both plus/minus and geometric tolerances
- Review of GD&T standard (2018 vs. 2009 versions)
- Datums at virtual condition (the MMB modifier)
- How to choose MMC, RFS, or LMC
- Tolerance stack analysis using the “loop” method
Prerequisite
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance Fundamentals or basic knowledge of GD&T.
