CETOL 6σ Software Training is a 3-day* class covering the CETOL 6σ Basics such as interface, variation inputs, best practices for assembly analysis modeling, functional dimensioning including GD&T, validation of analysis, interpreting results and reporting.
Students are encouraged to bring an assembly model to class. The model is used to construct a real, live analysis while learning CETOL 6σ modeling techniques that are inherent to a given product. Upon completion of the class, students will return to the workplace with analysis available for review. Class size for the instructor-led programs is a maximum of eight students. Sigmetrix training facility is located in McKinney, Texas just north of Dallas.
Course Description: Sigmetrix offers CETOL 6σ Tolerance Analysis Training for individual students. Topics covered include an overview of worst-case and statistical analysis concepts, the CETOL 6σ user interface, fundamental statistics, variation inputs, best practices for assembly analysis modeling, functional dimensioning including GD&T, the complete tolerance analysis modeling process, modeling validation, results interpretation, and reporting. Lectures, demonstrations, student exercises, and modeling on customer assemblies are included in the agenda.
Course Objectives: This course will teach students fundamental software and assembly knowledge required to create accurate variation models using CETOL 6σ functionality. Additionally, we encourage students to analyze their own assembly during class time, so that “real work” is also accomplished! For the optimal learning experience, students should bring an assembly model to class and begin constructing a real, live analysis while learning CETOL 6σ modeling techniques that are inherent to the customer’s product.

Course Description:
Sigmetrix offers CETOL 6σ Tolerance Analysis Training onsite at the customers facility. Topics covered include an overview of worst-case and statistical analysis concepts, the CETOL 6σ user interface, fundamental statistics, variation inputs, best practices for assembly analysis modeling, functional dimensioning including GD&T, the complete tolerance analysis modeling process, modeling validation, results interpretation, and reporting. Lectures, demonstrations, student exercises, and modeling on customer assemblies are included in the agenda.
Course Objectives :
This course will teach students fundamental software and assembly knowledge required to create accurate variation models using CETOL 6σ functionality. Students are encouraged to bring an assembly model to class, or, an assembly of interest can be provided to Sigmetrix prior to training and the instructor will include the assembly in the training process. The goal is to get some “real work” done by constructing a current analysis while learning CETOL 6σ modeling techniques that are inherent to the customer’s product.
Prerequisites:
- Minimum of 3 months, daily experience using CAD software
- Understanding of tolerance analysis
- If used, an introductory understanding of GD&T
- Background in kinematics, i.e. part degrees of freedom is valuable
Class Materials:
- CETOL 6σ Training Manual covering theory and functionality
- CETOL 6σ Exercise Manual providing instructions for exercises

CETOL 6σ Software Training Class Structure:
- Three, 8-hour days for 24 hours of instruction
Training Dedicated to Your Business Needs.
Through the training, students will have time to apply the software to customer specific assembly tolerance problems. For this, students are asked to bring assembly models to class. These models are used to learn specific modeling techniques that are inherent to a given product. Many students complete an analysis during training and will return to the workplace with an analysis available for review.
Learn the fundamentals of CETOL 6σ at your own pace. This computer-based course allows students to complete the same curriculum as our instructor-led course but at a schedule that can be balanced with other work demands.
Course Description
This course will teach students fundamental software and assembly knowledge required to create accurate variation models using CETOL 6σ functionality. Throughout the training, students are encouraged to practice what they learn on a customer-specific assembly problem. The goal is to get some “real work” done by constructing a current analysis while learning CETOL 6σ modeling techniques that are inherent to the customer’s product.
Prerequisites
- Minimum of 3 months, daily experience using CAD software
- Understanding of tolerance analysis
- If used, an introductory understanding of GD&T
- Background in kinematics, i.e. part degrees of freedom is valuable
Course Design
At the conclusion of the training, students have the opportunity to apply CETOL 6σ on a company-specific assembly model. The recommended assembly model size is 4-10 parts. A non-disclosure agreement should be in place prior to sharing any geometry or related, confidential information.

Sigmetrix also provides customized training to address specific areas of interest. The course content is modeled after a unique customer product line that is supplemented with additional content. This ensures technology adoption and learning curve acceleration on highly relevant problems. The overall result is achieving a return-on-investment in significantly less time. Some common customer requests are listed below.
- Teach modeling technique for a defined set of assembly problems
–Eg. Electrical Motor Requirements: axial end play, case-cover fit, rotor–stator clearance, etc. - Teach analysis interpretation and optimization to personnel responsible for downstream functions like product quality, manufacturing and assembly, supplier quality certification, and inspection
- “Teach CETOL 6σ analysis reuse, i.e. mapping, for similar products”
– Eg. Customer makes seven different sizes of electrical motors but geometrically and technically the design is the same. One CETOL 6σ “template” can be created to analyze all seven motors
As part of the process, a CETOL 6σ Modeling is developed for specific assembly analyses.
