Monte Carlo simulation can be used for tolerance analysis (Monte Carlo tolerance analysis) to determine the rejection rate of assemblies. In this application we will look at an example assembly where parts A and B must fit inside part C with a clearance fit. For performance reasons we want to minimize the total clearance so …
When conducting a Monte Carlo simulation, correlation among input variables is an important factor to consider. If input random variables are treated as independent, when they are actually correlated, risk can be under or over estimated. Let’s think about how this occurs, when two input variables have positive correlation, the value for each should be …

Mind maps are a useful way to organize information and to gather input from a group. A mind map is simple to construct and is really an organized way of collecting your (or your group’s) thoughts. By visually mapping out a problem, project tasks or set of ideas, you are engaging a different part of …
