SIGMUND WORKS

SigmundWorks, a powerful tolerance analysis software for SolidWorks developed by Varatech, enables engineers to evaluate, optimize and validate assembly build quality, relative to piece part tolerance and assembly process variation. Fully integrated within SolidWorks, this value-added tool can be used early in the development phase before design solidification and hard tooling procurement. SigmundWorks prevents costly tweaking delays at ramp-up as well as long-term variation problems. SigmundWorks is integrated within SolidWorks 2009.

SolidWorks Integration:

Unrivalled ease of use/Quick to learn- Designed for the non-specialist. Unrivalled speed/quick modeling.

Single Window Integration- no need for geomatry transfer

Intelligent Nominal and tolerance based Interference Visualization at worst case, Min, Med, Max conditions

Works with Part, Assembly and drawing modes in SolidWorks.

Bells and whistles of the Product:

Five analysis types including: Worst case, RSS, MRSS, PCRSS, and Monte carlo Simualtions.

Design for Six Sigma Roll-Down & Roll Up Approaches

Wide range of statistical distributions and extensive report generation capabilities

Optimize design with unique tolerance optimization and cost minimization capabilities

Identify Cost Saving Opportunities with Cosrt Savings Report. Automatic Statistical, Sensitivity, Tolerance Summary, and SPC report generation

SIGMUND ABA for SOLIDWORKS

Sigmund ABA for SolidWorks is an assembly build analysis tool that, for parts and assemblies defined in SolidWorks, allows engineers to evaluate the 3-D effects of component tolerances on the quality of manufactured products. Sigmund ABA for SolidWorks provides engineers with an easy to use SolidWorks-Sigmund interface to evaluate the capability of their designs, ensuring that assemblies go together 100% of the time, while meeting all the assembly performance criteria.Sigmund ABA is integrated with Solidworks 2001Plus and later.

Benefits:

Sigmund ABA for SolidWorks can be used to resolve complex assembly problems for rigid bodies, evaluate design improvements, identify important design characteristics, and determine optimal tolerances for parts and assemblies created in SolidWorks. Using Sigmund ABA for SolidWorks from design concept through production will improve quality, reduce costs, and cut development life cycle times.

Development of a Sigmund assembly build analysis model follows an intuitive, step-by-step methodology that includes Component Geometry Creation, GD&T or Tolerance Emulation & Optimization

SIGMUND ABA KINEMATICS

Sigmund ABA Kinematics is the World's only assembly build analysis tool that allows engineers to evaluate the 3-D variational effects of kinematic mechanisms and component tolerances on the quality of manufactured products. Sigmund ABA Kinematics provides engineers with an easy to use interface to evaluate the capability of their kinematic mechanisms and the component/assembly design, ensuring that assemblies go together 100% of the time, while meeting all the assembly performance criteria.Sigmund ABA Kinematics is available as standalone, as well as integrated with Solidworks 2001Plus and later, SolidEdge v10 and later, ProEngineer v2000i2 and higher versions.

KEY FEATURES:

Consider piece part/assembly variation and kinematic motion in the same environment.

Allows defining relative motion between multiple parts/components by using different kinematic joints, such as - primitive, revolved, cylindrical, universal, planar, ball, and bearing joints.

Allows assigning different driver motion in a mechanism.

Allows considering variation analysis in both open and closed loop mechanisms with zero to multiple degrees of freedom.

Can animate kinematic motion and trace the range of motion for a specific feature at both nominal and deviated conditions.

Can evaluate thousands of outputs throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.

BENEFITS:

Sigmund ABA Kinematics can be used to resolve complex assembly problems for kinematic mechanisms, evaluate design improvements, identify important design characteristics, and determine optimal tolerances for parts and assemblies with kinematic joints.

Avoid creating multiple models by considering variation and kinematic motion at the same time.

Allows accurate assembly of closed-loop kinematics mechanisms.

Can identify non-build conditions because of actual and accurate constraints applied at specific joints.

Can evaluate the effects of variation throughout the range of motion in mechanisms.

Can compare them with the nominal range of motion relative to what you might see in an ADAMS model.

Can generate automated reports showing multiple indices of information throughout the range of motion.
