Identify the Interferences with the MAT

In the following steps we will be looking at the interference in the model. Two interfering parts will become three parts when imported into Autodesk® CFD, the volume of the interference will become its own volume. These extra parts can be confusing during pre-processing and cause meshing failures.

Note: Geometry from some CAD tools may fail to import due to interferences as well.
  1. Select Interferences from your preferred method (Ribbon, Drop-down, or right-click context menu).

  2. Select the Parent Part.

    Note: We see only the one small interference between a chip and the housing.
