Sigmetrix EZtol v3.2.1 Tolerance Analysis Software Adds Stackup Cloning

Sigmetrix, experts in mechanical variation management, share the release of EZtol v3.2.1. This new version offers several enhancements to the standalone version of EZtol as well as EZtol for SolidWorks.

EZtol streamlines 1D tolerance stack-up analysis, enabling engineers to quickly calculate, visualize, and validate tolerance impacts without a need for on error-prone spreadsheets. The result is faster design cycles, more accurate assemblies, and lower manufacturing risk, the company reports.

EZtol v3.2.1

Added ability to clone a stackup

• EZtol now allows users to create a copy of an existing stackup, and the new copy will remain independent of the original stackup. 

Added ability to redefine mating features of existing stackup

• EZtol now allows users to redefine mating features in an existing stackup. 

Switch license manager from Reprise to Flexera

• EZtol has switched license managers from Reprise to Flexera. 

EZtol for SOLIDWORKS v3.2.1, all of the above plus:

Use of assembly mates to automatically define the stackup dimension sequence

• EZtol will interrogate existing mates in the assembly. If at least one path between the start and end features of the stackup can be found, EZtol can use that path to automatically define the stackup dimension sequence. 

Sigmetrix’s portfolio includes other products and services including:
