Detect Static Collisions

General

• The static collision detection of an assembly calculates the number of collisions between the parts and highlights the colliding parts in the working window.
• You can choose the parts included in the collision detection by hiding the parts you do not want included.
• You can search for collisions in either the main assembly or the subassembly.

Find Static Collisions

1. Select Assembly | Collision Detection | Static to search for collisions in the main assembly or
   1. In the feature tree, select the assembly branch for which you want to search for collisions and
   2. select the context-sensitive function Other Functions> Find Collisions.
2. The program searches for collisions and if one/such is found, the collisions between the parts are shown as follows:
   • The number of collisions is displayed in the title bar of the dialog box.
   • The labels of the colliding parts are displayed. Subassembly’s label is displayed in front of the label.

     

   • If no collisions are found, the program prompts you: No collisions.
   • Part models colliding with each other are visualized in the working window as follows:
     

     • Light and dark blue - colliding parts.
     • Red - colliding volume.
3. If necessary, select Only collisionable parts visible.
   • This is a good option, especially in larger assemblies where small parts collide with each other.
4. If there are more than one collisions, you can select the next collision with the button and the previous collision with the button . If there is more than one collision, you can select the next collision in its order by clicking the following button:
5. To see a list of collisions, click Print.
   • Select the program to which you want to open the print, for example Notepad or Wordpad.
6. Finish collision detection by clicking the Exit button.
