Touch. Two interfering objects are classified as touching when they intersect, and the interfering faces are located within a distance less than the specified tolerance from each other. Thus, an intersection (as defined below) may become a touch after you increase the tolerance such that it becomes larger than the distance between the interfering faces.
|
•
|
Intersection. An intersection between the two objects is detected, and the interfering faces are located at a distance that is larger than the tolerance from each other.
|
•
|
Gap. No intersection is detected between the two objects, but they have faces with portions that are located within a distance less than the specified tolerance from each other. The detected size of the gap appears in the list.
|
•
|
Containment. One object is a contained in another object, which is a solid.
|
•
|
For two intersecting solid objects the nodes for the objects have two subnodes each, Inside and Outside. Click the Inside node to highlight the parts of the interfering faces that are inside the other object. Click the Outside node to highlight the parts of the interfering faces that are outside the other object.
|
•
|
For two intersecting surface objects the nodes for the objects have two subnodes each, Small side and Large side. The faces resulting from the intersection are grouped according to size since surface objects do not delimit a volume in space, thus it is not possible to determine what is inside or outside the other object. Click the Small side and Large side nodes to highlight the parts of the interfering faces that result from the intersection with the faces of the other object.
|
•
|
For an intersection of a solid and a surface object, the node for the solid object has the subnodes Small side and Large side, while the node for the surface object has subnodes Inside and Outside.
|
•
|
For two touching objects, the nodes for the objects may have two subnodes, Touching and Not touching. Click these nodes to highlight the corresponding portions of the interfering faces.
|
•
|
For a gap between two objects, the nodes for the objects may sometimes have two subnodes Touching and Not touching.

|
Choose Interfering faces only to show only the interfering faces involved in the selected node. For example, if you select an intersection node from the list, only the face regions from the two objects that are involved in the intersection are shown.
|
•
|
Choose Selected object (default) to show only the objects involved in the selected node.
|
•
|
Choose Other object to show the object that is interfering with the currently selected object subnode to the interference node.
|
•
|
Choose Both objects to show both objects involved in an interference when you select one of the subnodes to the interference node.
|
•
|
Choose All objects to show all objects regardless of which nodes are selected.
