The preview window is displayed. |
|
The parts in clash are automatically loaded in CATIA V5. In our

LCA.
What happens?

This operation launches a last clash computation to check the
clash result is still relevant (i.e. other users can have performed
modifications impacting the PRC). |
The Save in ENOVIA V5 dialog box opens: |

This command lets you search for interferences related to one (or
more) selected product (s)
The Check dialog box only displays the interference
results related to the selected product (s) |
How does it work?
|
This filtered list is the result of a comparison between the
currently stored interferences in database and the interferences
detected in your current working session. When exiting the command, a
reset action is performed on the filtered list. Next time, you
review your interference results using the
, the list will be complete (the clashes related to the entire
session will be displayed). |
