interference analyse and mark as an another color through Intent 2010

[jennypet]

Hallo everyone,

I'd like to detect the interference under several subassemblies, and I'm using Intent 2010 right now.

Does somebody know how to achieve this and mark the interference volume as red or whatever a color?

I only found the function "checkInterference", but it only returns as a boolean. That seems not enough for me.

Can somebody help me out of here?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

You may want to look into "Interference Analysis Example" in the Inventor API help, it is a nice starting point.

Thank you,

Hallo,

thank you for you reply!
I've tried to achieve my goal though Inventor API with the method analyzeinterference. And it returns a InterferenceResult. I feel really confused, cause there is interference volume (returned as double )as a returned property, but I can not highlight the Interference part.
It seems really near the function analyze interference of Inventor self, but missed the most important use-----mark the interference as red.

thank you so much!

Interseting..I have the same question...I just recently converted to 2011 Pro, and it appears that the interfernce sections are now a faint clear red...I also need this changed, because you can barely make out the interferences..

Did any of you ever find a solution for this???

This would be extremely helpful, because identifying those interferences are key to my job.

Thanks,

Hi,

Ths how I solved this problem :

ObjectCollection oSelectedOccs;
oSelectedOccs = _Inventorapplication.TransientObjects.CreateObjectCollection();

//Perform some operation of 
//adding objects to the collection oSelectedOccs.add(componentoccurence)

InterferenceResults oResults = ((AssemblyDocument)_Inventorapplication.ActiveDocument).ComponentDefinition.AnalyzeInterference(oSelectedOccs);
					if (Highlightset_Collisions == null)
					{
						Highlightset_Collisions = _Inventorapplication.ActiveDocument.CreateHighlightSet();

						Highlightset_Collisions.Color = _Inventorapplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0, 1); //color red
					}
					Highlightset_Collisions.Clear();

					if (oResults.Count > 0)
					{
						string output = "There are interferences between ";
						for (int i = 1; i <= oResults.Count; i++)
						{
							output += oResults[i].OccurrenceOne.Name + " and " + oResults[i].OccurrenceTwo.Name + " + ";
							Highlightset_Collisions.AddItem(oResults[i].OccurrenceOne);
							Highlightset_Collisions.AddItem(oResults[i].OccurrenceTwo);
						}
						//MessageBox.Show(output);
					}

 The variable oSelectedOccs is an objectcollection of inventorparts that you want to check if they are interfering.

Hopes this helps somewhat.

Cheers,
