Comparing Clearance and Creepage and Spark Analysis Extensions
Clearance and Creepage Extension (CCX) replaces the Spark Analysis Extension (SAX) application. The following table summarizes the features that are available in SAX and CCX:

In CCX, you cannot perform an analysis on an individual surface. You can perform the clearance and creepage analysis on solid geometries and surfaces attached to the solid geometries.
