Interference Simulation Result List

Attribute Columns

Contextual Name: Displays the name of the contextual interference located in the global simulated product. It is built from the metric name valuated in the business logic and a number corresponding to the instance number.; The multi-instantiated interferences share the same name with numbered (1, 2, 3, and so on) suffixes. The names of the interferences that are not multi-instantiated end with 1. You can edit them as text strings.; You can click to sort the interferences in alphabetical order in the interference result list.
By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Metric Interference Name: Displays the name of metric. You can edit them as text strings.; The multi-instantiated interferences share the same metric interference name with numbered (1, 2, 3, and so on) suffixes and displayed in the Contextual Interference Name column.

By default, this column appears in the interference list.

System Status

Displays the interference status computed by the system as per the defined specification. It correspond to the attribute V_Itf_Type in the business logic parameters. It describes the solver status (Clash, Contact, Clearance, or No Interference). You can select several rows and modify the system status simultaneously.

By default, this column appears in the interference list.

User Status

Allows you to update the user status. It corresponds to the attribute V_Itf_User_Type in the business logic parameters. It describes the user status with the color associated to it as below:


Color	User Status
	Clash
	Contact
	Clearance
	No Interference
	Undefined

By default, this column appears in the interference list.

Analysis Status

Allows you to update your acceptance status. It corresponding to the attribute V_Itf_Analysis in the business logic parameters. It describes the analysis status with the color associated to it as below:


Color	User Status
	KO
	OK
	To be analyzed or To be re-analyzed

When you compute an interference simulation for the first time, analysis status is To be analysed.

When the analysis status appear as To be analysed and you change it (OK or KO), and then update the interference simulation, analysis status displayed is To be reanalyzed instead of To be analysed.

Note: The multi-instantiated interferences shares the same status.

By default, this column appears in the interference list.

Previous Status

Displays the previous status of the interference. If the interference simulation is performed for the first time, the status is displayed as Unknown. It corresponds to the attribute V_Itf_Previous_Analysis in the business logic parameters. It describes the user status (OK, KO, Not analyzed, Unknown or blank). When you update the interference simulation, previous status displays the user defined analysis status.

When you compute an interference simulation for the first time, the cell value is empty.

The cell value appears Not analyzed when the Analysis Status set is To be analyzed or To be reanalyzed before updating the interference simulation.

By default, this column appears in the interference list.

Fastener Instance 1

Displays the title of the first interfering fastener.

Instance 1

Displays the title of the first interfering instance.

Fastener Instance 2: Displays the title of the another interfering fastener.

Instance 2: Displays the title of the another interfering instance.
Fastener Type 1: Displays the type of the first fastener in the interference.
By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Fastener Reference 1: Displays the reference name of the first fastener in the interference.
By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Fastener Type 2: Displays the type of the another fastener in the interference.
By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Fastener Reference 2: Displays the reference name of the another fastener in the interference.
By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Validity status: Displays the validity status of the interference. For example, In scope and Out of scope.
Note: When you re-execute the interference simulation, the Validity Status appears as Out of scope if the interference is no longer part of the context of the simulation. For example, if you remove a product from the context group or set a product to no-show, then the Validity Status appears as Out of scope.
Definition: Allows you to specify the simulation definition. Corresponds to the attribute V_Name in the business logic parameters.
Specification: Displays the specification defined to compute the interference. It corresponds to the attribute V_Itf_Case_Of_Calc in the business logic parameters. It specifies the computation parameters (clash-contact, clearance, MCX_computation values, and so on). With Clearance value, it corresponding to the attribute V_Itf_Spec_Clearance_value.
Update Status: Displays whether the interference is updated or not (Yes or No).; When the any instance is not loaded, unloaded from assembly for example, the update status is displayed as Unknown. You can load all the instances and update the interference simulation manually.
Quantifier: Displays the penetration volume when the clash is detected and minimum distance when the clearance is detected. The column displays NA status if the check boxes under compute quantifier of the Specifications tab are cleared. See Create an Interference Simulation.; You can choose to display the penetration depth value instead of penetration volume. To do so, right-click the Quantifier column and select Clash Value > Penetration Vector .; By default, this column appears in the interference list.
Penetration Volume: Displays the penetration volume. To display this column, right-click any of the columns and select Show column > Penetration volume.
Penetration Vector: Displays the penetration value. To display this column, right-click any of the columns and select Show column > Penetration vector.
Minimum Distance: Displays the minimum distance. To display this column, right-click any of the columns and select Show column > Minimum distance.
Tolerance: Displays the tolerance (sag) used during the computation. It corresponds to the attribute V_Itf_Real_Tolerance_Used_For_Computation. The tolerance value is the sum of the tolerances of both interfering parts.; By default, this column appears in the interference list.

Description: Allows you to specify the comments about the particular result. It corresponds to the attribute V_description in the business logic parameters. It describes the user comment.; You can edit the description as text string.; By default, this column appears in the interference list.

Note: If you modify an attribute value in the result list, the attribute of the metric interference is modified, which in turn modifies the contextual interference attributes. For example, if you change the name in the Interference Name column, the name of every contextual interference corresponding to this metric will change.

However, if you modify the attributes of the contextual interference, the metric attributes are not impacted because they share attributes with other contextual interferences. In this case, the attribute is indeed modified for the contextual interference, but not for the metric interference.
