The limit spreadsheet was developed by my colleague John Stolter (www.gd-t.com) based on Alex Krulik method for calculating stacks, then he added a couple of columns to help users develop more realistic to Spreadsheet used by Geometric Learning Systems with permission of John Stolter.

The nominal/plus/minus spreadsheet is given because many companies use this instead of limit toleranc To make use of the Monte Carlo column, you need to have statistical data describing the tolerance. (The column is really just a place holder for you to play with and arrive at a simulated tolerance based on
