This course utilizes a combination of lecture videos, software demonstrations, detailed exercises, quizzes, and a training manual to teach the fundamentals of CETOL 6σ. Upon completion of the course students will be able to build and validate assembly variation models and make design decisions to optimize the nominal designs and tolerance assignments. The coursework is broken into tasks which students complete at their own pace. Completed CETOL model files are included to allow students to compare their work to the desired results.

Topics include:

- The CETOL 6σ Interface, Interaction with CAD System data, and
CETOL Application Options

- Assembly Modeling including defining requirements, accurate
assembly constraints, multiple positions of an assembly,
dealing with clearance, and import of CAD assembly
constraints

- Part modeling including application of functional dimensioning
with standard and geometric dimension schemes,
manufacturing variation, and import capabilities directly from
CAD model

- Model validation using visualization functionality

- Results interpretation, design optimization, and reporting
