Intersecting Bodies

Geometry > Body > Identify Intersecting Bodies

Dialog Box

This tool finds the intersecting bodies from the given input. The found intersecting body pairs get added to the Output List. Users can visualize each body pair intersecting region using the output list.

This tool supports both CAD and mesh body input. The tolerance input for the ‘Penetrating bodies’ can be given only for solid mesh body input.

  • Nearby bodies excluding overlaps

    Nearby bodies within the given tolerance can be identified using this option.

  • Penetrating bodies

    Penetrating bodies can be identified using this option.

  • Tolerance

    Using this toggle, the user can identify only those body pairs having penetrating depth more than the given value. Otherwise, it identifies all the penetrations.

    Note: The tolerance option supports only some regular penetrating bodies. It needs to extend for all general cases.
