-
In the Specifications tab, select the required options.
- 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.
-
Define the context to compute the interference.
By default, Between all components is selected which computes the interferences between all the elements under the selected root product.
-
To define the groups inside the simulation context:
-
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.
-
Click Add new group to create a group.
-
Add the required elements in the group. To do so:
.
-
Click OK.
-
Undock the multi-list to see the summary of number of clashes, contacts, and
clearances.
-
Click Close.
The multi-list closes and the results are not saved in the tree.
