Learn how to use the Interference tool to detect interferences and coincident faces in Fusion.
On the toolbar, select Inspect > Interference .
Select the bodies or components you want to evaluate for interferences.
The Interference dialog displays.
Optional: Check Include Coincident Faces to detect coincident faces between bodies.
Click Compute .
One of the following three results occurs:
A pop-up message appears and states, No interferences detected: This is the result if there are no interferences, and either or the following conditions exists:
An Interference Results dialog appears, but it lists only zero-volume Groups of components: This is normal if you activated the Include Coincident Faces option, there are coincident faces between the evaluated bodies, and there is no overlapping of evaluated bodies.
An Interference Results dialog appears listing one or more Groups of components or bodies with a positive, non-zero interference Volume. If you activated the Include Coincident Faces option, the list may also contain coincident faces (zero-volume results), as previously described.
If an interference is detected, and you wish to remove it now, continue to step 6 in the next section. Otherwise, click Cancel to dismiss the Interference dialog.
Requirements: Automatic removal of interferences between bodies or components is supported for the following conditions:
From the Design workspace, Solid or Surface tab or Form contextual environment, interference removal is only supported for the Direct modeling mode.
When Capture Design History is enabled (Parametric modelling mode), the Interference tool only reports overlapping components and bodies (and optionally, coincident faces). Interference removal is not available for parametric models in these three workspaces.
Within the Simplify workspace, all model changes are parametric. However, automatic interference removal is supported. In other words, the Interference tool in the Simplify workspace can remove body-to-body and component-to-component interferences from all models.
The following procedure is applicable for the direct modeling mode (in any modeling workspace) and for all models in the Simplify workspace. The interference removal procedure continues from the preceding interference detection procedure:
