the main difference is with this command we
have more options, including "Collision ~ Move Component

Detection" and "Physical Dynamics." Moves a component within the
degrees of freedom defined by its

mates.

Options After selecting "Collision Detection" a new

set of options are presented; under the "Check

between:" option select "These Components" to

reveal a new selection box. This option is used to
ffiiCS

Check between: limit the number of components included in the

collision detection calculation, ignoring the rest of

the parts in the assembly. Select the 'Housing' and
These component

'Offset Shaft Gear', otherwise every component

would be included in the collision calculation

because they are just hidden, not suppressed, and

0 therefore considered as a solid object.

0 Stop at collision The collision detection command is a

resource intensive command; therefore, limiting

the number of components in the analysis makes

D Dynamic Clearance v the analysis run faster and smoother.

After selecting the components press the

"Resume Drag" button to continue. Make sure the

"Stop at collision," "Highlight faces" and "Sound"

0 Ignore complex surfaces options are also selected; this way the parts will

0 This configuration stop when they hit each other, and we'll hear a

sound and see the colliding faces.

Using the "All components" option can be used if the assembly only has a

few components and we have a fast computer. The maximum number of

components depends on geometry complexity, mates, computer speed, etc.

and therefore it's more convenient to limit the number of components in the

analysis.

@ If we start moving the parts with the "Collision Detection" command and

there is an interference between any two components being analyzed, we'll

get a warning letting us know about it and the option "Stop on collision" will

be disabled, but the sound and highlight faces will continue to work. This is another

good reason to limit the number of components included in the analysis.
