"Default" Math Vs "Legacy"?

What are we calling the new default Geo-Tol math? "New Math"? "Default Math"?
I remember this gun fight a loooong time ago, it ended up bad for Hexagon and us also.
what I mean is:
The "New Math" best fits a little too aggressive for me compared to "Legacy". Last time I had reports coming out with perfect true position our customer Lockheed Martin mopped the floor with Pc-Dmis and started the whole ISO Best-Fit shootout, disallowing us to use Pc-Dmis best fit algorithms. The "New Math" best fits also. Here is a comparison:



What do you think?
and can we come up with a disparaging term like "New Math" other than "Geo-Tol"? or "Geo out-of Tol"?

  • ok, enough joking.


    Heer's the issue:

    There is a difference between "Legacy" and the "New Math". I wasn't trying to duplicate results.

    Its not common knowledge that the "New Math" does it's own best-fits, and that can be risky for manufacturers.

    Historically Hexagon hosed it once, and it was a disaster for me and my customers. (Exact Measure)

    Now I feel we are at the same juncture again. There is a lot of paper rustling and back pedaling at the Hexagon Centers of Excellence or whatever you call them today. I believe Hexagon is still in error, and is trying to minimize it or cover it up just like it did 20 years ago.

    How am I to explain a "Zero" true position result to my very intelligent and sophisticated customers like Lockheed?
