Preparing the Assembly for Analysis
Before performing electrical Clearance and Creepage Analysis on an assembly model, Creo Parametric generates a mesh of elements to represent the assembly geometry. Your assembly model usually contains details that are essential for manufacturing, but meaningless for analysis. Removing unnecessary geometry improves the meshing time, reduces the memory consumption, and increases the reliability of the analysis. Use the following guidelines for preparing the components your assembly model for analysis:
Use the same units of length.
Set the accuracy to absolute with a consistent value.
Remove all the components such as cosmetic features that do not affect the analysis.
1. Cosmetic features that can be removed
Remove small features such as chamfers, small grooves, and cuts to reduce the complexity of the assembly geometry.
1. Cut features that can be removed
Remove all the surfaces that do not affect the analysis to increase the success rate of mesh creation.
1. Offset surface that can be removed
Remove all harnesses.
