1. Import CAD model
EVOLVE SmartProfile supports common CAD file formats, such as STEP, IGES, DXF, and QIF.
For CAD models containing PMI information, seamless import is possible from QIF (Quality Information Framework*) files.
*A unified XML framework standard for computer-aided quality measurement systems enabling the import of both CAD models and PMI.
2. Define Tolerances
Within EVOLVE SmartProfile, define GD&T (GPS) tolerances in accordance with your chosen standard (ASME Y14.5M – 1994, ASME Y14.5 – 2009, or ISO 1101). The integrated Explanatory System provides context-specific information.
EVOLVE SmartProfile supports advanced GD&T callouts, including multi-tier tolerances, compound datums and shift, simultaneous & separate requirements, and more.
3. Evaluate GD&T
Import point clouds from various measuring devices like CMM, laser scanners, CT, and others. Optionally, utilize the Data Preparation tool to efficiently process large point clouds without compromising analysis integrity.
Perform a comprehensive GD&T evaluation with a single click. EVOLVE SmartProfile eliminates result variations stemming from diverse evaluation methods, software algorithms, and human interpretations.
4. Save Results
Effortlessly generate custom graphical and text-based reports, which can be exported in Excel, PDF, text, and other file formats.
Save the project for future reference and seamlessly import it into other EVOLVE products.
