OverviewBased on CETOL Technology, the PTC Creo Tolerance Analysis Extension (TAE) enables the rapid analysis and documentation of geometric tolerances directly in the 3D CAD model, so that after manufacture all components of the product fit together correctly.
Creo Tolerance Analysis Extension provides a powerful tolerance stack-up and gap analysis solution that is seamlessly integrated into the Creo design environment. The graphical user interface is easy to learn and use. You can evaluate the impact of tolerances and dimensioning schemes on the feasibility of product designs, without tedious spreadsheet analysis. In addition, any change made to the design is automatically reflected in all downstream deliverables – without risk of translation errors in your design. The result: shorter product development cycles, lower product cost, and higher product quality.
