"Go Ahead - Make a Mistake Today!"

Today I was bit confused and afraid, reason -  one of my Director noticed that my todays quotation was little different then usual,he kept it on his desk, looking with lots of interest ( It seemed that I had done some huge change) after the silent of few minutes he finally spoke.his frowzy eyes made him look more serious. It scared me, but impact was completely opposite, he appreciated the new changes in quotation and said its good and we must try some good and new things,no matter if mistakes gonna arrive.we are inviting them. because they give birth to innovation, and innovative ideas can be only implemented when we mix and try.
This forced me to write on talking about the power of making mistakes! We all strive to be perfect, but thankfully its not real and in fact making a mistake helps you learn and become more humble. Its like 2D and 3D , its not until you have used 2D design that you realise that 3D can help so much. Furthermore any 3D is great to help you realise that if you DIDN'T happen to choose SOLIDWORKS - that's a great problem to have and you will quickly appreciate a 3D to 3D change to the SOLIDWORKS family will be a smart way to move forward. having a design update problem or a design fail 3rd part simulations are also great mistakes to help understand that parametric design and simulation can save you DAYS of re-work and cost in your products"
"SO make a mistake today and prove that you are mistakes can take you ahead" :)

What is tolerance stack-up analysis??

A Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis is an analysis used by designers and engineers to determine if an assembly of parts will fit together and function properly. The analysis is based on the dimensioning scheme of the individual parts and how they are assembled.

Here’s an easy way of looking at it: Assemblies are made up of parts. Every part contains dimensions to define the part. All dimensions have tolerances. Since it’s actually impossible to manufacture a part perfectly to a given size, designers provide a tolerance, or a range of error that is acceptable for a particular feature in a part. What engineers worry about is what happens to the fit and function of their assembly when all those parts, with all those tolerances, get assembled together. Can they be sure that their assembly will fit together and function properly. This is why they perform a tolerance stack-up analysis.

What is SolidWorks TolAnalyst?

---TolAnalyst is a tolerance analysis application provided since 2007 in SolidWorks 2008 Office Premium that determines the effects that dimensions and tolerances have on parts and assemblies. The TolAnalyst tools let you perform maximum and minimum tolerance stack-up analysis on parts and assemblies.
