Manual construction of tolerance charts is a popular technique for analyzing tolerance accumulation in parts and assemblies. But this technique has some limitations: (1) it only deals with the worst-case analysis, and not statistical analysis (2) it is time-consuming and error-prone (3) it considers variations in only one direction at a time, i.e. radial or linear. This paper proposes a method to automate 1-D tolerance charting, based on the ASU GD&T global model and to add statistical tolerance analysis functionality to the charting analysis. The automation of tolerance charting involves automation of stackup loop detection, automatic application of the rules for chart construction and determination of the closed form function for statistical analysis. The automated analysis considers both dimensional and geometric tolerances defined as per the AS ME Y14.5 - 1994 standard at part and assembly level. The implementation of a prototype charting analysis system is described and two case studies are presented to demonstrate the approach.
