You can use interference detection between bodies in multibody parts.
This is helpful when checking that weldments are trimmed properly and before using
Simulation tools.
To use interference detection for multibody
parts:
-
Open system_dir:\Users\Public\Public
Documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS
2019\samples\whatsnew\parts\Main.sldprt.
-
Click Interference
Detection
(Tools toolbar) or
.
In the PropertyManager, the Main.sldprt is listed under Selected
Bodies.
-
In the PropertyManager, click in Excluded Bodies.
-
In the flyout FeatureManager design tree, select RH
.
RH
was inserted with the
Insert Part tool.
Interference Detection can check or ignore parts
and bodies that you inserted with the
Insert
Part tool. This saves time if you inserted a part containing
several bodies.
In this case,
RH
will be excluded from the
calculation.
-
In the PropertyManager, under Options, select:
- Treat coincidence as
interference. Includes bodies that share coincident
faces as interferences.
- Make interfering bodies
transparent. Displays interfering bodies as
transparent.
-
Under Selected Bodies,
click Calculate.
Ten interferences are listed under
Results with the interference value displayed.
Interfering bodies are transparent, and
Interference1
is
highlighted in the graphics area.
-
Under Results:
-
Expand Interference1
and click the first
instance of Square tube to
highlight the interference body in the graphics area.
-
Double-click Interference1
again to clear the
Square tube selection and
collapse Interference1
.
-
Press SHIFT and
click Interference1
and Interference4
to select all of the
interfering sections of bodies.
All of the interfering sections of bodies are
highlighted.
