Let me guess, the first question on your mind is “where do I start?” 

A high-level overview of the model can be found under the “Model Summary” tab.  Here you will find a review of model considerations, quick results with recommendations, and assumptions made by the modeler. In “Simulation Results,” all measurements of clearance and flushness are summarized in a sortable list.  

Hovering over a measurement name will display an image of the model along with a box enclosing the measurement location.  Selecting the name with take you to the measurements graphical and statistical results. 

Each of the measurement results is hyperlinked to its contributing tolerances.  Selecting a tolerance will take you to an image of that tolerance along with the definition of its range, distribution, and location on the particular part. 

To analyze a different measurement, click on the “Simulation Results” tab and select a new measurement. “Information” gives additional detailed information of assembly structure and model parameters.
