To Display Global Interference Information
You can display the interference details between parts or subassemblies in Assembly mode and between bodies in Part mode.
To display global interference information, perform the following steps:
In Part mode, click > >
The Global Interference dialog box opens. Quick is the default analysis type.
If you are working in Part mode, skip steps 2, 3, and 4, and go directly to step 5.
2. Select Parts only or Sub-assembly only as a Setup value to compute the interference for parts or subassemblies.
3. Click Include quilts to include surface quilts in the computation.
4. Click Include facets to include facets in the computation.
5. Select a value for Compute. Click Exact to obtain a complete and detailed computation or Quick to perform a quick check.
◦ In Assembly mode, Quick lists parts or subassemblies that interfere.
◦ In Part mode, Quick lists bodies that interfere.
Exact also highlights the volume of interference.
6. Click Show All to display the result of the analysis in the Creo Parametric graphics window.
Alternatively, click Show All and then Clear to graphically view the result one by one. If you select Quick to perform a quick check, click Verify to verify the result in exact conditions and display the interference volume.
7. Click Preview to compute the analysis. Pairs of components that interfere are highlighted in the Creo Parametric graphics window and displayed in the result area at the bottom of the Global Interference dialog box.
Click
to view the report of the analysis in the Information Window.
8. Optionally, to save the analysis feature, perform the following steps:
a. At the bottom of the Global Interference dialog box, select the Saved analysis type.
| The 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.
9. Optionally, to create an advanced analysis feature, perform the following steps:
a. At the bottom of the Global Interference dialog box, select the Feature analysis type.
b. Optionally, in the box adjacent to the list, rename the analysis.
c. Click the Feature tab to create or change feature options of the current analysis, if required. You can access the feature options, such as parameters or datum features only when you select a feature type of analysis.
10. Click OK to complete the analysis or Cancel to cancel the analysis. Alternatively, click Repeat to start a new analysis.
