This task shows how to check
the overlapping of different areas of the part. This is usually done when
the part has been designed, bends created and the part is unfolded.
Overlapping between areas of the part are highlighted. |
|
Open the
NewOverlap01.CATPart document from the samples directory. |
|
-
Click Fold/Unfold
to unfold the part.
-
Click Check Overlapping
.
The area with the overlapping is highlighted in red.
The Overlapping Detection dialog box is displayed
indicating how many overlaps are present on the analyzed part.
-
Click OK.
A curve is generated. This curve can then be used to
solve the overlapping, by redesigning the involved feature's sketches or
specifications.

-
The overlapping is only computed when the two
coinciding faces are either bottom/bottom or top/top.
-
When no overlapping is detected, a message indicates so in the
Overlapping Detection dialog box.
-
In hybrid context, the curve generated after an overlapping detection
is aggregated under the part body in the specification tree.
