Just FYI,
JacobCheverieneil.challinor In response, "Do you have any concrete examples in which, using the new Geometric Tolerance, PC-DMIS does not calculate simultaneous evaluations correctly?"
Yes, actually... PC-DMIS does not calculate simultaneously evaluated composite TP's correctly, as one example.
At least in Xact, you would clearly see multiple DOF's within each FCF, knowing the composite is not being SIMTOL... In GeoTol,
you're completely mislead with the removal of the DOF segment, leaving multiple FCF's labeled, "SIMTOL" while in-fact there being evaluated
independently. No warning or error message either...

See JacobCheverie's response below. Under ASME Y14.5, simultaneous evaluations do not apply to the lower segments of composite position or profile tolerances.
