Detecting and Handling Physical Clashes

You can detect and handle clashes in simulations of physical-logical models. If a clash occurs, clashing objects are highlighted, and the simulation can be stopped.

Note: If contact occurs during initialization of the model, the clash computation supposes the contact as normal; no action is performed (highlighting or stop on clash). If contact remains for the following simulation steps, no action is performed.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: You can detect and handle physical classed in the following two cases:
Important: One of the objects involved must be fixed.

Activate Physical Clash Computation

You can activate clash computation to compute if a clash occurs.

From the Scenario section of the action bar, click Activate/Deactivate Physical Clash Computation .
The clash computation is activated. If a clash occurs, objects in clash are highlighted.

To deactivate the clash computation, click again Activate/Deactivate Physical Clash Computation .

Stop on Clash

By activating stop on clash, the simulation stops when a clash occurs.

From the Scenario section of the action bar, click Activate/Deactivate Stop On Clash .
The simulation stops if a clash occur.

To deactivate stop on clash, click again Activate/Deactivate Stop On Clash .
