About Contact Detection

Contact detection identifies surfaces in the model that are likely to touch one another and creates surface-based contact features for them.

Contact detection provides a convenient method for quickly creating multiple surface-based contact features based on the initial configuration of the model.



Consider the following points when using the contact detection tool or directly creating surface-based contact pairs:

  • The two surfaces must be roughly facing each other.
  • Display options may affect the distance between surfaces.
