Sigmetrix Launches GD&T Advisor Software For PTC Pro/ENGINEER and Creo

By DE Editors

Sigmetrix, a PTC PartnerAdvantage Gold Partner and tolerance analysis software provider, has released its GD&T Advisor (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Analysis) software solution for Pro/ENGINEER and Creo. The result of collaboration with Alex Krulikowski at Effective Training,  GD&T Advisor is an interactive tool that provides guidance on the correct application of GD&T. It guides designers through a standards-based application of GD&T from within the CAD environment, increasing GD&T standards conformity and accuracy while reducing the time to apply GD&T by 75 percent.

Powered by Sigmetrix’ CETOL 6 Sigma Technology, the software offers creation, validation, education, and reusability functions. In real-time, the software applies mathematical rules and standards to drive validation, visualization and function-oriented repair of existing GD&T. The Interactive Help feature provides instructive,  educational support, consisting of a content-sensitive use guide that links to an entire GD&T Encyclopedia. The model-centric,  “intelligent” annotations created can then be repurposed, with the full GD&T meta-data applied in the downstream processes, including computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computer Aided Inspection (CAI).
