Composite Profile Tolerancing in CALYPSO


---
 Share

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how you would program Composite Profile Tolerancing in CALYPSO? Is there a way to program them under one profile characteristic, or would you have to do them separately? And what do you do when it is 2X? will you then have to program in 4 separate profile characteristics?

Please see attached image and give your opinion on the best way to get accurate results for the composite profile tolerance.

Thanks in advance!!

No, there are no composite requirements in ISO however it isn't forbidden to write it like in OP and it still means single segment.

ASME Y14.5-2018

7.19 SIMULTANEOUS REQUIREMENTS
A simultaneous requirement applies to position and
profile tolerances that are located by basic dimensions
related to common datum features referenced in the
same order of precedence at the same boundary conditions.
In a simultaneous requirement, there is no translation
or rotation between the datum reference frames of
the included geometric tolerances, thus creating a single
pattern. Figures 7-46 and 7-47 show examples of simultaneous
requirements. If such an interrelationship is not
required, a notation such as SEP REQT should be placed
adjacent to each applicable feature control frame. See
Figures 7-48 and 10-54 and para. 10.5.4.2. This principle
does not apply to the lower segments of composite feature
control frames. See para. 10.5.4.2. If a simultaneous
requirement is desired for the lower segments of two
or more composite feature control frames, a notation
such as SIM REQT shall be placed adjacent to each applicable
lower segment of the feature control frames.
Simultaneous requirements are not applicable and
cannot be invoked by notation on single-segment or
multiple-segment feature control frames when the
datum references are different, the datum references
appear in a different order of precedence, or the applicable
material boundaries are different.

I find it odd, the SR and location are not "Basic" dimensions on print.

By 7.19 I think the upper tier controls both as a pattern, then the lower tier controls individual shape/location to Datum A

Composite tolerancing - The primary first tier controls location of each feature to the datums. The second and subsequent controls pattern of features to each other and orientation of pattern to datums only.

The second tier of this composite controls the location of the scallops to each other and that pattern much be perpendicular to the axis of A. "Centered about -A-" would not be controlled in the second tier as it does not control location to a datum in any way. Only in the first.

Also, this isn't a "rule of simultaneous requirements" application either. ROSR does not apply to secondary or subsequent composite tolerance controls.

The best method to control this is with a "bore pattern" position on all features. Use the same structuring for both segments (build the first and copy/paste/edit DOF constraints). The first will constrain 5 DOF, allowing rotation in a single axis (around -A-). The second tier will control 2 DOF and allow full XYZ translation in all axes and rotation in 1 (around -A-)

Jeff,

Given that 2023 GD&T package doesn't have a Bore Function Pattern option like the legacy option, do you know how it is going to be addressed moving forward?

As far as I am aware, there is not an easy/intuitive way to perform Composite Tolerances inside of Calypso 2023 using the new GD&T package.
