■ Clearance - two objects are treated as intersecting when they come within
a specified distance of each other. Selecting this clash type also detects any
hard clashes.
You might use this type of clash when pipes need to have space for
insulation around them, for example.
■ Duplicates - to intersect two objects must be identical both in type and
position.
This type of clash testing may be used to clash the entire model against
itself. This enables you to detect any items in the scene that may have
been duplicated by mistake.
Tolerance Controls the severity of the clashes reported and the ability to filter
out negligible clashes, which can be assumed to be worked around on site.
Tolerance is used for Hard, Clearance and Duplicate types of clash test.

animation scene.

in a simulation sequence.
