Systems and methods are provided for determining a confidence level on contact pairs identified through traditional contact detection algorithms for an assembly of bodies. A plurality of testing tolerances are identified. For each of the identified testing tolerances, a determination is made as to whether a distance between any two faces of the bodies in the assembly is less than that identified testing tolerance and when this happens a count of positive detections is increased. A ratio of the count of positive detections to the total number of times the detections are run tolerances is determined (called repeatability of a face pair), where the confidence level is based on the determined repeatability ratio.
