GD&T Envelope


---

Recommended Posts

I am increasingly seeing the Envelope requirement appear on our companies drawings. (Letter E in a circle) My understanding is that this requirement is a combination of several other GD&T elements, is there some way of reporting dimensions to this requirement in Calypso2619_b1fff6eb978ed401e4567efbc95a0172.jpg
TIA

In the characteristic 2-point diameter there is a radio-button for Envelope condition. This will make Calypso evaluate (for a hole) the maximum 2-point diameter as max-value and maximum inscribed cylinder (or circle) for the min value. For a shaft it is the other way around.

This is not a perfect approach since it will only evaluate 2 point diameters from the same circle path but for machined parts it should be fine.
