Detecting Interferences Automatically

This task shows you how to use the Interference Detection functionality while replaying a simulation.
 
The Automatic Clash Detection is now available while moving an object with the 3D compass.
Open the document AUTO_CLASH_DETECTION.CATProduct, then select Digital Mockup -> DMU Navigator from the Start menu.
 

 

  1. Double-click Simulation.1 in the specification tree.
    The Kinematics Simulation and  Edit simulation dialog boxes appear.

  1. In the DMU Generic Animation toolbar, click the arrow within the clash detection icon.
    Undock the toolbar if necessary.

  1. Set the Clash detection to on .

  2. In the Edit Simulation dialog box, select 0.04 as the interpolation step.

 

  1. Run your simulation using the VCR buttons.

The products in clash are highlighted in the geometry area.

  1. Now select the Stop mode clash detection .

  2. Run your simulation. This time, the simulation stops at the first clash detected.

If you need to obtain a finer clash analysis, you need to define a interference, please refer to Space Analysis User's Guide.
