All Process Groups

The following changes affect all process groups, regardless of which cost model versions are in use:

Improved Multi-body Interpretation of Existing Scenarios

Previously when aPriori opened an existing, CAD-connected, multi-body scenario, it required the end user multi-body settings to match the settings originally used for the scenario. If the settings did not match, the scenario became CAD-disconnected or a failure message was displayed. In aP Pro 2024 R1 SP2, the CAD file interpretation is saved with the scenario, which means that when the scenario is opened from the database, aPriori knows how to interpret the CAD file and does not throw an error.

Note that if you want to change the interpretation of a CAD file, you must follow the same workflow as previously documented:

  1. Close the scenario with the incorrect interpretation.
  2. Delete the incorrect scenario if not required.
  3. Change the user multi-body preferences.
  4. Open the CAD File by selecting Open CAD file... from the File menu.

Support for ISO (Tabulated) Diametrical Tolerances

aPriori now extracts ISO (tabulated) diametrical tolerances for holes and shafts. (An ISO tolerances uses, for example, “Ø3.5 G6" to represent Ø3.5 +0.004 to Ø3.5 +0.012.) Previously these tolerances were ignored by aPriori. The enhancement covers ISO tolerances defined in Creo, CATIA, NX, and Solidworks. For parts whose CAD file included PMI using ISO tolerances, times and cost might increase compared to the previous release.
