Computing Interferences in Non-Persistent Mode

• Select the required standard specifications.
  • Clash and Contact: to compute clashes and contacts.
  • Clearance: to compute the clearances lower than the minimum clearance value defined in the Clearance box.
• Select the required engineering connection specifications.
  • Check No Clash: Identifies only clashes
  • Check Contact: Identifies clashes and clearances
  • Check Clearance: Identifies clashes, contacts and clearances with distance less than the specified minimum value of the clearance
  • No Check: Avoids computation for the interferences with specifications set as No Check in the Engineering Connection Definition dialog box.
• Select the required computation quantifiers.
  • Minimum Distance: to compute and store the minimal clearance distance. The check box is available when you select:
    • The Clearance check box under Standard Specification
    • The Activate and Check Clearance check boxes under Engineering connection specification
    • The Activate check box under Knowledge rules specifications
  • Penetration Vector: to compute and store the penetration vector value when a clash is identified. You can search for an interference simulation using advanced search, specifying the penetration value as a search attribute.

By default, Between all components is selected which computes the interferences between all the elements under the selected root product.

1. From the list, select either of the following:
   • Inside groups: to compute interferences between the elements of a group. You can select one or more groups. However, interferences are computed only between the objects of the same group.
   • Groups against groups: to compute interferences between the elements of different groups. Interferences are computed between all parts of one group and all parts of other groups.
   • Groups against context: to compute interferences between the selected elements in a group, and the remaining elements in the context. Interferences are computed between defined groups against the context.

2. Click Add new group to create a group.
3. Add the required elements in the group. To do so:
   • Click Add the selected product in the group to add objects to the selected group. Select the product or the parts in the 3D area or the tree to add them to a new group.
   • Click Remove the selected product from the group to remove selected objects from the selected group. When nothing is selected, all the objects are removed from the group.
   • Click Delete this group to delete the selected group.
   • Click Add the selected filter to this group to add a previously created filter to define the group context.
