Tolerance Analysis and Vector Method

This video tutorial explains how to perform a tolerance stackup using the vector method. It covers the calculation of inner and outer boundaries, part alignment, and gap control. The video details the process of establishing a vector stackup loop and calculating vectors, including the use of geometric tolerances. It also compares boundary analysis with vector analysis, highlighting the importance of considering all dimensions for accurate results.
