Use the Curves tool 
to display the edges where solids intersect each other, as shown in the example below with a block and a sphere.
Use the Volumes tool 
to display volumes created by the intersection of solids, surfaces, and components in your design, as shown in the example below.
Click Curves in the Interference
group on the Analysis tab.
Select intersecting objects to see their edges of intersection.
Click Volumes in Interference group on the Analysis tab.
Select objects to display their intersection in green.
You can also select multiple faces by box-selecting or selecting in the Structure tree.
Interference with thread intersections are not reported.
(Optional) Click the Create Volume tool guide and select an area of interference to create a new solid from the volume.
Within the Volumes tool, there are several tool guides that help guide the behavior of the tool:
|
|
The Select Targets tool guide allows you to select the objects for which interference will be shown. |
|
|
The Create Volume tool guide allows you to select an area of interference and create a new solid from the volume. |
The following options are available:
Collapse to parent component: All of the component’s sub-components are treated as part of a single solid when performing the volume interference calculation. Select this option to optimize performance.
