Analyzing and Verifying Interference Simulation Results

Interference Analysis lets you analyze the results of an interference simulation and verify them.


Before you begin: Create or open an interference simulation.
  1. Select the required interference from the interference simulation result list.
    The 3D geometry is re-framed displaying the interference curves for clash or contact interferences. The movable annotation on the selected interference instance for clash or clearance appears.
  2. Move the slider to adjust the opacity of the objects that are not a part of the selected metric.

    By default, the opacity is 10%. The modified opacity value is persisted.

    • Click to apply full opacity (the opacity value of 3D objects) to non-interfering objects. Click again to apply the previous opacity value.
    • Click to apply full transparency to non-interfering objects. Click again to apply the previous opacity value.
    • When you reopen the interferences using Analyze interference , previously selected interferences are selected and previously applied opacity is applied.
    • You can also specify the transparency value in the Transparency box under Interfering Parts, available at Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Interference Check > Interference Display.

  3. Create a change request for the interference metric.

  4. Create an issue for the interference metric.

  5. Select the required values from the User status and the Analysis status lists based on the analysis of the selected interference.

    You can select several instances and change their analysis status.

  6. Update the interference simulation.

    You can right-click any instance in the interference simulation result list and select Refresh to refresh the update status and instance names without updating the interference simulation.

  7. Optional: Enter a comment in the Description box.

    You can also change the contextual name.

  8. Use the App Options panel to do the following:

    • Apply colors to the instances
    • Re-frame on the clashing parts or on the interference area

  9. To generate an interference simulation report , right-click the interference simulation result list and select either of the following:
    • Export Selected: To export the selected interferences in the interference simulation result list.
    • Export Filtered: To export the interferences filtered by applying filters on required columns.
  10. To play the Interference Check for Dashboard experience in 3DPlay Web App, from the Compass, click 3DPlay Web App.
