System and method for analyzing design tolerances

A computer program apparatus for analyzing design tolerances comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• and
• computer program instructions, recorded on the computer readable medium, executable by a processor, for performing the steps of:
• facilitating the graphical identification by a user of a first and a second entity;
• identifying at least one loop of dimensions and tolerances of a plurality of objects proceeding from the first entity to the second entity;
• storing the identified dimensions and tolerances relating to the at least one loop;
• and
• analyzing the stored dimensions and tolerances relating to the at least one loop, to, in turn, determine the interfacing of the objects relative to each other.

A method of analyzing design tolerances comprising the steps of:

• facilitating the graphical identification by a user of a first and a second entity;
• identifying any objects related to the first and second entities;
• storing the identified dimensions and tolerances relating to the identified objects;
• and
• analyzing the stored dimensions, to, in turn, determine the interfacing of the objects relative to each other.
