To Display Global Clearance Information
In an assembly, you can display the clearance details between parts or subassemblies. In a part, you can display the clearance details between bodies.
To display global clearance information, perform the following steps:
1. In an assembly, click > > .
In a part mode, click > > .
The Global Clearance dialog box opens. Quick is the default analysis type.
| If you are working with an assembly, go to step 2. If you are working with a part, go to step 4. |
2. Select Parts only or Subassemblies only as a Setup value, to calculate the global clearance between parts or assemblies.
3. Select the Include harnesses check box if harnesses are present in the assembly.
4. In the Clearance box, specify the clearance value or select the value from the list of most recently used values.
5. Click Preview to compute the analysis. The result of the analysis is highlighted in the Creo Parametric graphics window.
In an assembly, pairs of components within the specified clearance value appear in the result area. In a part, pairs of bodies within the specified clearance value appear in the result area.
6. Click
to view the report of the analysis in the INFORMATION WINDOW.
Click Show all to highlight the result of the analysis in the Creo Parametric graphics window or Clear to clear the clearance items and the result of analysis.
7. To save the analysis feature, perform the following steps:
a. At the bottom of the Global Clearance dialog box, select Saved as the analysis type. A Saved type of analysis is used to dynamically update the analysis while modeling.
b. Optionally, in the box adjacent to the list, rename the analysis.
8. Click OK to complete the analysis, Cancel to cancel the analysis, or Repeat to start a new analysis.
