Overview

 

Collision


The Collision groups mode is the mode for defining the groups and content for collision analysis while running a (interactive) kinematic simulation.

Simulation_19b


Before being able to run a collision analysis it has to be defined which geometrical objects are checked against each other. The geometry is added to collision groups.


When picking a geometrical object or objects, a dedicated pie menu can be called to define these collision groups.

Activate the Manipulator

Add

New group

COM_Atach

Add to an existing group

COM_Detach

Remove from the group

 

(Replaces the Add command on selected and already assigned geometry)

SelectAllBodies
