Abstract
A system and method for analyzing part clearance data compares stored design clearance data and tolerance data with actual measured clearance values to determine whether any of the actual clearance values are out of tolerance. Clearance values are measured and input using a digital gauge or like apparatus. The data may be displayed in a spreadsheet along with the design clearance data, and any values that are out of tolerance that therefore require adjustment can be highlighted. Out of tolerance values can be corrected via a manual adjustment or a virtual adjustment.
