DatumNest

Build signed mechanical dimension chains, compare worst-case and RSS variation, and run a repeatable Monte Carlo screen from iPhone or iPad.

Focused field tools

Loop Definition

Write the closed dimensional relationship before assigning signs or tolerances.

Datum Scheme

Confirm each contributor is measured from the same functional references used by assembly.

Sensitivity Sign

Use positive and negative coefficients to preserve the physical direction of closure.

Worst Case

Sum absolute tolerance effects when every extreme must remain acceptable.

RSS

Use root-sum-square only when independence and distribution assumptions are defensible.

Normal Input

A stated ±3 sigma range is not interchangeable with a drawing limit without process evidence.

DatumNest is an engineering screening and communication tool. Confirm datum schemes, geometric effects, correlations, distribution assumptions, process capability, units, and acceptance criteria with qualified design and quality personnel.
