Uncertainty calculations according to VDA5 are the second pillar of solara.MP. Here, too, there are dependencies on the strategy. Not as massive as with the MSA (where you can or must choose between many different calculations and references), but they do exist.
There is already documentation on the technical handling, so the "How To" documentation is kept short.
Regarding the delivered strategies: a clear separation between MSA and VDA5. The latest version of the Q-DAS strategy does not calculate VDA5, the VDA5 strategy of the third edition does not show an overall evaluation for the MSA procedures. This was separated due to many hotline enquiries where users without any real training, after opening a Type-1 Study or Type-2 Study, claimed that this was e.g. a Type-1 Study with Cg and Cgk according to VDA5 second edition only because of the name of the strategy:
For this reason, a classic procedure can be opened with the strategy according to VDA5 of the third edition, but there is no longer a statement:
In the strategy, the following basic settings are important for the user (or rather, for the key users to define their own strategy). This is not a training course on the strategy, but is intended to address the most frequently asked questions:
Requirements
As always, the requirements are defined in the strategy. It must be clarified whether the measurement system should be tested separately at 15% or whether only the measurement process should be tested at 30%, which includes the uncertainty of the measurement system.
The question must also be asked as to whether the user is permitted to adjust the target values in the study itself. This may sound illogical at first that this is possible in Q-DAS software, but it also shows the big philosophical difference between classic MSA and an uncertainty study. Uncertainty analyses are carried out by specialists in consultation with the recipient of the reports (possibly the customer).
