Static and Dynamic Operations
Distance and clearance measurements, along with collision detection, are available for both static assemblies and dynamic sequences, in which users move parts of mechanisms interactively.
All assemblies made of parts in CAD models should be free of collisions, a form of unwanted design error.
With our Collision Detector, your CAD and BIM applications check assemblies for collisions, even at early stages, to ensure designs are free of errors. Collisions are identified as areas of contact and volumes of overlap. Early detection of collisions reduces costs during later design phases and especially when it comes to constructing physical products.
Collision Detector’s distance measurement function checks user-specified gaps between parts and subassemblies.
Collision Detector works accurately with B-rep geometry. If necessary, polygonal representation can be used to speed up the analysis.
Collision Detector can be configured to limit the scope of detection.
For example, you may need to detect all faces where the bodies intersect. or you may just want to know whether bodies or subassemblies collide without going into the details. You can also exclude some pairs from the detection and select from a range of collision detection strategies. The detection results can be tangents or in-volume intersections.
