I developed the limit spreadsheet based on Alex Krulikowski's method for calculating stacks, then added a couple of columns to help users develop more realistic tolerances (RSS, MRSS). I developed the nominal/plus/minus spreadsheet because many companies avoid limit tolerancing.

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
