Does anyone have any idea on how to understand this formula:

H1 +H2 =F1 +F2 +T1 +T2

Trying to get a full picture "where din formula is coming from" and how it is driven from the applicable virtual conditions boundaries.

aniiben,

Here is how I do it. Click on the section on GD&T Positional Tolerances.

You are sticking round objects through round holes. The holes are located by postional tolerances. If the round objects are classified as screws (they could be press-fit pins or fabricated features), they are located by positional tolerances too.

aniiben,

Here is my take on how the B.6 formula could be derived.

Notice that this is nice example of a case where simple comparison of extreme boundaries/virtual conditions (for datum features and toleranced features) doesn't work. It is all because the MMB size of datum feature A of the pocket (20.0) doesn't equal the MMB size of datum feature A of the pin (19.89).
 
Consider if H1 and F1 are exactly aligned/coaxial.

Then H2 - F2 = T1, which is the maximum diametral clearance between the features under those conditions.

Now consider if H2 and F2 are exactly aligned/coaxial.

Then H1 - F1 = T2, which is the maximum diametral datum shift under those conditions.

Add the equations to account for both conditions:

H1 + H2 - F1 - F2 = T1 + T2 and then rearrange a bit

H1 + H2 = F1 + F2 + T1 + T2.

The following restrictions apply:
H1, H2, F1, and F2 are the MMC diameters (in the Appendix)
H1 >= F1 (not explicit in the Appendix)
H2 >= F2 (not explicit in the Appendix)
 
Thank you pmarc. I appreciate your help

Thank you 3DDave. Thank you for your support.

 
Also, last but not least
Thank you drawoh for the additional material for GD&T training materials "Calculating Locational Tolerances"
