Abstract
Systems and methods are used to determine a defined fastener for fastening two parts together at an assembly fastener location. The defined fastener comprises fastener components selected from a plurality of different fastener components available for use in an assembled fastener. The fastener components of the defined fastener may be selected based on criteria defining characteristics of an assembly stackup including the two parts and the assembled defined fastener. Dimensions of the two parts at respective fastener locations forming the assembly fastener location may be used to determine a part stackup dimension for the assembled fastener at the assembly fastener location.
