About Interference Detection
Use Interference Detection to determine whether parts of a model overlap, touch, or are too close to each other. An interference detection test is called a query. You can save the query settings and the results. One user can define the query and another user can perform it. You can also compare different query settings to the same model input and examine different iterations of the same model using the same query settings.
Your access to the Interference Detection functions depends on your configuration of Creo View:
Creo View Edition
Interference Detection Functions
Creo View with an Interference Detection module license
Read and write
Creo View without an Interference Detection module license
Read only
View results and open reports.
Creo View Lite
Read only
View results and open reports.
Creo View Express
None
You can set Creo View to open Interference Detection information as read-only data.
In an animation, you can perform a dynamic query to calculate interferences. The results are displayed graphically, and they are added as additional tracks in the animation. For more information about the tool and the license requirements, see About Dynamic Interference Detection.
