Statistical tolerance analysis based on Monte Carlo simulation can be applied to obtain a cost-optimized tolerance specification that satisfies both the cost and quality requirements associated with manufacturing. However, this process requires time-consuming computations. We found that an implementation that uses the graphics processing unit (GPU) for vector-chain-based statistical tolerance analysis scales better with increasing sample size than a similar implementation on the central processing unit (CPU). Furthermore, we identified a significant potential for reducing runtime by using array vectorization with NumPy, the proper selection of row- and column- major order, and the use of single precision floating-point numbers for the GPU implementation. In conclusion, we present open source statistical tolerance analysis and statistical tolerance synthesis approaches with Python that can be used to improve existing workflows to real time on regular desktop computers.

The importance of geometric deviations of components for the aesthetic and functional quality of products has been undisputed for decades. So, it is not surprising that not only have numerous researchers devoted themselves to this field, but also commercial software tools for the analysis and optimization of tolerance specifications (currently already fully integrated in 3D-CAD systems) have been available for around 30 years. However, it is even more surprising that the well-founded specification of tolerances and their analysis using a so-called statistical tolerance analysis are only established in a few companies. There is thus a contradiction between the proclaimed relevance of tolerances and their actual consideration in everyday business life. Thus, the question of the significance of geometric deviations and tolerances as well as the use of statistical tolerance analysis arises. Therefore, a survey among 102 German companies was carried out. The results are presented and discussed in this paper.

Air-conditioning of vehicles is important to improve driver comfort and motivate users to invest. The heating and cooling processes required for this are very energy-intensive processes. In conventional battery-operated commercial vehicles, the energy required to operate the air-conditioning system is used from the battery. This reduces the range of the vehicles by up to 30%. One of the greatest challenges in making electric commercial vehicles usable across the board is to increase their driving range. To reduce energy losses through air-conditioning, it is preferable to develop a technology that is independent of the battery. There are a number of options for controlling the temperature of a moving vehicle, but only a limited number that is CO2-neutral. In this paper, we focus on adsorption chiller technology in combination with an auxiliary heater based on bioethanol. To understand the advantage of an adsorption machine, a simulation model can provide useful data on scaling and ease of use and thus be the basis for design and assembly of a prototype system. Therefore, a mathematical model of the adsorption technology is combined with the known dimensional parameters of electric vehicles, and the results are presented in form of a simulation model.
