Geometric Tolerance

3D Design Volume Model

Who could give me a smple definition of the symbol S circled for a geometric tolerance.

I searched on the net and in several GDIs, I found nothing.

Thanks in advance

I would say important part or side for security reasons

Hello

Is it for SolidWorks in French?

If so, the only thing I found is "SØ" which stands for spherical tolerance, on the 3rd image.

In fact, the answer is in the SolidWorks Help:

 

S => "Regardless of the size of the function"

The symbol S or RFS =(Regardless of feature size = Regardless of property size) indicates that the element can be any size within the declared limits

I found the answer in the SolidWorks help, but the sentence is not very clear to me

Hello

 

I have the L, M and E, but the S I really can't see. And no matter how hard I look, I find nothing. I'll try to find out in the BE

 

Kind regards

ok, well done Batch123!

You should know that it was for flexible shapes....

As fthomas says, the symbol S or RFS means that the element can have any dimension within the defined limits.

S =  spherical sheet metal

Hello

 

I agree with Fhomas and F.Exertier.

 

The "S" indicates a material condition which means that the element can have any dimension within the defined limits!!! It doesn't matter if it's straight or wavy as long as it doesn't go beyond tolerance.
