Abstract

Managing geometric part deviations to control their effects on the product function and quality is an important task in the design of physical artefacts. Consequently, computer-aided tolerancing tools are widely applied in industrial practice to evaluate the effects of geometric part deviations on assembly and functional requirements. However, most established models and approaches for the representation of geometric part deviations, geometric tolerances, and geometric requirements in such tools lack of a realistic consideration of form deviations and are often not conform to international standards for the geometric product specification and verification. With the aim to provide a further step towards a computer-aided tolerancing theory employing variational part representatives in discrete geometry, approaches for the generation of such representatives, which conform to pre-defined tolerance specifications, are presented. These approaches ground on algorithms for the evaluation of geometric tolerances from point clouds and are essential for the tolerance analysis employing point based models. We highlight the usefulness of the presented methods for the tolerance analysis in a typical case study.
