Interference Checker App - Relevant Interferences

in General
Interferences in assemblies are super annoying, right? Onshape got tools like Interference Check & Section View, but it's still pretty manual. We're developing an app that includes an interference checks, so we need to figure out the different types and how to handle them. For example, interferences from deformed parts like springs are fine, but duplicated parts need fixing. Can you help expand the list so we can see the big picture?
Troublesome Interferences
- Misaligned Parts: When parts aren't aligned/positioned right
- Duplicated Parts: Two identical parts or older versions in the same or similar place
"Acceptable" Interferences
- Thread Engagement: Overlapping in threaded connections
- Press Fits: Intentional tight fit for parts designed to be snug or sealings
- Nails and Rivets: Fasteners penetrating materials with some overlap.
- Deformed Parts: Wires or springs that bend and overlap without problems.
