Abstract
A system includes a host application configured to receive a component model representing a vehicle component. The component model includes a body having a concave portion and/or a convex portion that defines a fluid retainer. A detection tool in communication with the host application is configured to determine a size and location of the fluid retainer. The detection tool is further configured to associate the size of the fluid retainer to a design rule and calculate a value representing a minimum hole size that will allow fluid to flow into or out of the fluid retainer in accordance with the design rule.
