Clearance check with tolerance

[zeta]

I have two parts in assembly which do not interface each other. When
using Pair Clearance check (Analysis -> Molel -> Pair Clearance),
the result is shortest distance in between both parts.

I model these two parts in nomial size. Can the clearance check in ProE take general tolerance into calculations?

E.g. If I assembly part A to Part C and Part B to Part C. I check it -
0.2mm gap between Part A and Part B. Both part using general tolerance
+/-0.25mm. It will overlap each others when goes to MMC.

Yes,


Use Edit/setup/dim bound to set all or some dimensions to their max tolerance value, regen and do interferance check again.

if you are interested in impact of tolerances in dims chain you can use Cetol.

it is external software no included in Pro\e
