Searching for Clashing Geometry
Parts clash if there is contact between the parts without a mesh connection or if one is completely inside another. These disconnected mesh elements need to be either connected or removed before running a simulation to obtain an accurate result.
- Select the model or geometry part either in the model tree or 3D view.
-
On the Mesh tab, in the
Find group, click the
Clashing Geometry icon.
Figure 1. The Find Clashing Geometry Elements dialog.
-
Specify the parts to be searched for clashing geometry elements.
- To search the full model, under Search, click Entire model.
- To search only the selected part of the model, under Search, click Selection.
-
Click OK to search for clashing geometry elements and to
close the dialog.
Tip: Create a union where a part is contained in another.
