Interference Check in assembly

Interference Check in assembly

Interference Check in assembly

(OP)
hi,
In assembly, NX shows the total clearance between the parts but doesn't shows the interference distance. Is there any option to measure interference dimension?

Forgot to mention the NX version: NX 8.5

There is but i think you need to set allowed zones first. When you have defined zones, NX will calculate the distances.
Analysis- Assembly Clearance- Clearance set - new... , -Advanced - Object zones, enter a fairly large value, larger than what you think is the zone + Assign to Objects pick one of the components. Now NX will measure the distance between this the selected component and the ones which interfere with the zone.
Interferences with component zones is called "soft interferences".
I.e , if you have a hot component, you can by using this feature verify if any other component interferes with an allowed clearance volume around the hot component.

From NX9, a 'Calculate Penetration Depth' setting has been added. The UI had a complete make-over too.

Thank you all.. I got the option in NX 9. But as per client requirement we have to work in NX 8.5. In NX 8.5, we can highlight or create a separate interference body but it doesn't show the depth of interference in value. Therefore wanted to know any such option(as in NX 9) is present in NX 8.5.
