LLC - Logical Link Control
 (McKinney, TX)

What: Version 6.0 of CETOL Six Sigma Not to be confused with Sigma 6.
Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects.[1] A defect is defined as nonconformity of a product or service to its specifications.
 mechanical tolerance analysis software

Why you should care: This software analyzes 3D solid models from Pro/ ENGINEER and detects potential part tolerance problems that could delay production and lead to expensive design changes, material scrap and higher warranty costs. Sigmetrix's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  Tim Bogard says, "Because our software reliably identifies which features in a design are truly critical to quality, it allows engineers to focus on details that most influence manufacturability."

Pertinent Data: CETOL Six Sigma version 6.0 includes an assembly parametric See parametric modeling, parametric symbol and PTC.  mode that models joints for tolerance analysis using Pro/ENGINEER constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

, thereby cutting modeling time in half.

It also handles multiple levels of structure with analysis that rolls up from one level to the next to provide a comprehensive assembly analysis.
