Analyzing Assemblies
Next, check for interference between parts. This analysis is useful for detect-
ing problems that may arise during the final design stages. Check each part
for interference. If any interference is detected between parts, interference
solids can be created to illustrate where the interference occurs.
To check for interference
1 Use
AMINTERFERE to check for interference.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose Analysis ➤
Check Interference.
Respond to the prompts.
Nested part or subassembly selection? [Yes/No] <No>: Enter y
Specify first set of parts or subassemblies or [?]: Select PPULLEY (1)
Instance = PPULLEY_2
Enter an option [Down/Next/Accept] <Accept>: Press ENTER
Specify first set of parts or subassemblies: Press ENTER
Specify second set of parts or subassemblies: Select DPULLEY3 (2)
Instance = SUBPULLY_1
Enter an option [Down/Next/Accept] <Accept>: Enter d
Instance = DPULLEY3_1
Enter an option [Up/Down/Next/Accept] <Accept>: Press
ENTER
Specify second set of parts or subassemblies: Press ENTER
Comparing 1 parts/subassemblies against 1 parts/subassemblies.
Interference 1:
PPULLEY_2
SUBPULLY_1

Create interference solids? [Yes/No] <No>: Enter n
Highlight pairs of interfering part/subassemblies?[Yes/No] <No>: Enter y
Enter an option [eXit/Next pair] <Next pair>: Enter x
NOTE Resize the text window above the command line to read the results of
interference checking.
