Abstract:
In one embodiment, a computer program identifies potential squeak concerns between vehicle component pairs. The program includes instructions for receiving CAD data. The program also includes instructions for identifying vehicle component pairs having components within a predetermined tolerance of each other. For each component pair, a material description to each of the components and a material compatibility value is assigned. Material compatibility values are then outputted to identify squeak concerns.
