Genetic-algorithm-based optimal tolerance allocation using a least-cost model

Conventional tolerance analysis is tedious and time consuming, which makes engineers resist doing it. Complex assembly problems are generally beyond the capabilities of most design and manufacturing engineers. In this paper, genetic algorithm, a kind of non-traditional optimization technique is used as the basic foundation for optimal tolerance allocation to help design and manufacturing engineers to overcome the shortcomings in the conventional tolerance stack analysis and allocation system.
