Parts clash if there is contact between the parts (but without making an electrical
contact) or if one is completely inside another. These disconnected mesh elements need to be
either connected or removed before running a simulation to obtain an accurate
result.
Select the model or geometry part either in the model tree
or 3D view.
On the Mesh tab, in the
Find group, click the Clashing geometry icon.
Specify the parts to be searched for clashing geometry elements.
To search the full model, under Search, click
Entire model.
To search only the selected part of the model, under
Search, click
Selection.
Click Find to search for clashing geometry elements and
to close the dialog.
The result of the search is displayed in the message window. Any parts containing clashing geometry are selected in
the details tree and in the 3D view. A hyperlink
to the part containing the clashing geometry is also given in the message window.
