What is Worst Case?
Worst Case Analysis - Each individual tolerance is set to a point in its range (typically a
tolerance limit) where it will result in either the maximum or minimum output at a
specific measured location.
A Worst Case analysis is the only way to guarantee that an assembly of good detail
parts will not be out of specification.

1D Worst Case vs 3D Worst Case
1D Worst Case Shortcomings:
โ€ข Assumes all tolerances have a 1:1 effect on measure
โ€ข Difficult to capture angular variation
โ€ข Limited in scope, can only look at the problem in 1 dimension
3D Worst Case:
โ€ข We can capture geometric effect and angular variation!
โ€ข Doing by hand requires rigorous hand-calcs and large possibility for human error.
โ€ข Luckily, 3DCS can help!

Worst Case vs RSS
Statistical Analysis - Each componentโ€™s variation is modeled as a statistical distribution
(typically Normal by default) and these distributions combine to predict a new
distribution that describes the assembly variation, not the extreme values of that
variation.
Statistical Analysis (RSS) carries some โ€œriskโ€ that bad assemblies will be made from
good parts, but using inspection to spot trends and adjusting accordingly is a far
cheaper solution to designing to incredibly tight part level tolerances (as a Worst Case
analysis would recommend).

Apply a Normal Distribution to each
tolerance for our 3 blocks as our input
0.13% at or
below Minimum
0.13% at or
