Interference detection in SOLIDWORKS is a tool that helps find overlapping
parts in an assembly. It ensures all components fit together correctly and
prevents problems during manufacturing or assembly.
How to use in SOLIDWORKS:
Step: 1
➢ Open Your assembly in SOLIDWORKS
➢ Go to Evaluate Tab > Interference Detection.
Step: 2
In Selection Components, the top-level assembly is selected by default, or we can manually select specific components
Exclude Components: Excludes specific
components from the interference analysis.
Hide Excluded Components from View: Hides the excluded components in the graphics area.
Step: 3
After selecting, the Options group helps to adjust the detection
settings.
➢ Treat coincidence as
interference: Consider coincident
entities as interferences.
➢ Show ignored interferences:
Displays ignored interferences in
the Results list.
➢ Treat subassemblies as
components: Consider
subassemblies as single entities,
ignoring interferences between
their internal components.
➢ Include multibody part interferences: Detects interferences between individual bodies within multibody parts.
➢ Include surface bodies: Identifies interferences involving surface bodies but does not calculate the interference volume.
➢ Make interfering parts transparent: Displays interfering components as transparent for better visualization.
➢ Create fasteners folder: Groups interferences involving fasteners (e.g., nuts and bolts) into a separate folder named “Fasteners.”
➢ Ignore hidden bodies/components: Excludes interferences involving hidden components or bodies within multibody parts.
Step: 4
Once the option settings are checked,
click “Calculate”.
In Results:
➢ Displays the detected interferences.
➢ Shows the volume of each interference listed.
➢ Selecting an interference in Results highlights it in red in the graphics area.
Step: 5
These options allow control over the display state of non-interfering components in the assembly.
