EVOLVE SmartProfile® is the world's leading size analysis software. SmartProfile provides guidance for adding or modifying part design tolerances. It combines measurement data with CAD models of parts and automatically runs GD&T (ASME) and GPS (ISO) evaluations. Its rich toolset enables engineers to analyze and solve complex manufacturing problems.

Eliminate variability in results due to the use of different assessment techniques and/or measurement software.

Eliminate human errors resulting from incorrect interpretation and implementation of ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 standards.

Quickly evaluate part tolerances and processes to improve production.

Optimize enterprise resources by separating part measurement from tolerance assessment processes.

Easy to use GD&T evaluation

SmartProfile makes it easy to set up new items to analyze product tolerances:

Easy to use GD&T evaluation

SmartProfile makes it easy to set up new items to analyze product tolerances:

1. Import CAD model

EVOLVE SmartProfile can import industry standard CAD file formats including STEP, IGES, DXF and QIF.

CAD models with PMI information can be imported from QIF (Quality Information Framework *) files.

The unified XML framework standard for computer-aided quality measurement systems can be imported into CAD models and PMIs

2. Define tolerances

EVOLVE SmartProfile allows you to define GD&T (GPS) tolerances according to selected standards (ASME Y14.5m -- 1994, ASME Y14.5m -- 2009 or ISO 1101). The built-in interpretation system always displays relevant information from the current context.

EVOLVE SmartProfile supports enhanced GD&T annotation, including multi-layer tolerances, composite benchmarks and offsets, simultaneous and separate requirements, and more.

3. Evaluation of GD&T

Import the measurement point cloud from any measurement device: CMM, laser scanner, CT, etc. Handle large point clouds with optional data preparation tools to speed up analysis without loss of analysis integrity.

One-click evaluation of the entire GD&T project. EVOLVE SmartProfile is used to remove variability in results caused by different assessment techniques, software algorithms and manual interpretation.

4. Save the result

Custom graphics and text reports are easy to create and can be exported to Excel, PDF, text, and other file formats.

The project can be saved for future reference or imported into other EVOLVE products.

GD&T standards

The SmartProfile GD&T engine meets all major GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5M-1994, ASME Y14.5-2009, ISO 1101) and least-squares assessments. It supports multi-layer tolerances, complex and composite benchmarks, and standard notations in the feature control framework.

Data Preparation Tool

The Large Number of Points (LNP) option allows efficient and lossless import and processing of point clouds with large numbers of points.

Deviation of coloring

Processing points for color-coded deviations allows easy monitoring. Deviation colors can be used for source and result as well as CAD and result.

Class CMM sampler

A CMM-like sampler tool for extracting reliable representative surface points from dense and noisy point clouds.

The noise reduction

Noise reduction Settings include options based on surfaces and curves, depending on the point structure.

Filtering by bias

The bias filter tool eliminates outliers, islands, and unnecessary points based on the degree of deviation from the CAD model.

EVOLVE SmartProfile function

building

Construct new features from existing CAD geometry for use as benchmarks or other GD&T/GPS calculations.

The traditional tolerance

Define the positive and negative distance and Angle tolerance between any two arbitrary features.

Best fit alignment

Best-fit Alignment Deviation mode enables visualizing sample deviations on color maps, locating deviation labels, and documenting these deviations as part of a full report.

Fast alignment

Enhanced fast alignment and completion assignment algorithms automatically detect outliers in the data, resulting in a more robust and appropriate fit.

Update the revised CAD file

Easily replace old CAD models with new ones. If the CAD model is modified, it can be easily updated in the project without creating a new project for the new CAD model
