About Clearance and Creepage Violations

During the Clearance and Creepage Analysis , Creo Parametric calculates the clearance or creepage distance between components or quilts and compares it with the specified threshold value. When the distance between any two components is less than the specified threshold value, the distance is reported as the violation distance or path.

You can perform the analysis for a pair components, quilts, or nets. The following table compares an analysis for a pair of quilts or components with an analysis for pairs of nets:
