In this paper, the Monte-Carlo method for solving the dimensional chain pos
itive problem is presented and discussed. By using an electronic computer t
o calculate the limit size of piston travel of piston parts, not only are t
he calculating results of this method proven to be more precise than those
of the probability method, but also the calculating speed of this method is
proven to be faster than that of the probability method. (C) 2000 Elsevier
