About Exploring or Opening an Interference Simulation in a Navigation Widget

You can explore or open an interference simulation or metric in a navigation widget if the context supports the navigation experience. You can also check the interferences.

You can open the interference simulation or metric in a navigation widget. To do so, select the Work in navigation tab check box available under Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Interference Check > Interference Display > Interference simulation preferred interface.

To explore the interference simulation in a navigation widget, select the Activate Navigation Experience check box, available under Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Product Finder > Explore > User Interface.

If you open the interference simulation in a navigation experience widget:

  • The interference simulation is added as a root. The scenario and result nodes are displayed under the interference simulation root node.
  • The interference simulation context (filter or reference assembly) is added as a separate root.
  • If the interference simulation is loaded in an authoring widget, the already loaded authoring widget is displayed.
  • Another navigation widget is opened if the interference simulation is already loaded in a navigation widget. In this case, it is impossible to load the interference simulation in the authoring widget.
Note: You can also open an interference metric. In this case, the interference simulation is added as root with the scenario and result nodes under it. The occurrences referencing the interference simulation are added under a separate root.

It is possible to switch to the Interference Check app in the navigation widget. The user experience remains the same as in the authoring widget. You can edit specifications, display the interference list, analyze interferences, update interference simulation, etc.

Note: Interferences are computed based on the geometry displayed. Thus, in a navigation widget, if the 3D accuracy of the geometry is different from the authoring widget, the computation results might differ.
