Tolerancing analysis and functional requirement

Résumé

The aim of this paper is to show through a simple assembly a method of tolerancing analysis (coherent with GPS) developed at LMécA and based on the model of clearance and deviation domains. Tolerancing is an important step in the product design because on it will depend the functionality of the mechanism its assemblibility but also its cost: manufacturing cost increases with the precision of tolerances values. In our model, each feature specification is translated into tolerance zone. This zone limits displacements of the toleranced feature. Limitations of this small displacements are expressed in a mathematical form by a 6-polytope in a 6 dimensions space (3 rotations and 3 translations). In the same way, contact conditions in joints allow to write linear inequalities which can be translated by 6-polytopes. Each domain is defined by a set of vertices and a system of inequalities. Considering a chosen tolerancing, the method allows to verify the mechanism assemblibility but also several functional requirements. The example of a minimal clearance requirement between two surfaces will be treated. We will show the residual clearance zone associated to these surfaces considering tolerances on parts and clearances in joints. With such a tool, the designer will be able to modify values of the tolerances and thus to reduce the manufacturing cost while guaranteeing the functionality of the mechanism.
