7. in HTML or XML formats A clash test is a configuration of options rules and selections used in checking for clashes in a model These are useful if you have set tests for your model and need to run them as a batch You can create a number of different clash tests for a model and save them in a JetStream nwf file for checking with updated models at a later date General clash tests that you are required to run on all projects can be set up once exported and then re used on subsequent projects Such tests may be specific to your industry or company for example you may always use a particular diameter piping which requires insulating You could therefore set up a test which selects all of this piping in the scene and clash test it against the rest of the model to ensure a specific clearance around it is maintained Managing a series of clash tests can get complicated especially if you have a whole set of different layers you want to clash separately Clash Detective is designed to help you control these clash tests and leave an audit trail of clashes throughout the life of the project One simple but time saving way it does this is by remembering the names of clashes throughout the project s life so you don t have to go through each clash every time you do a test to figure out whether it s a new clash or one you have already seen Clash Detective also allows you to assign a status to a clash and can update this status automatically informing you

14. this If Normal the greatest penetration between a pair of triangles is measured If Conservative the greatest penetration of space around one item into the space around another is measured For clearance clashes the severity depends on how close one item invades the distance required around the second For example an item coming within 3mm is more severe than an item coming within 5mm of the other For duplicate clashes the severity depends on how close one item is to the other When the distance between them is zero it is more likely that this is duplicate geometry where as items that are further apart are more likely to be different objects and therefore have a lesser severity Tolerance The Tolerance controls the severity of the clashes reported and the ability to filter out negligible clashes which can be assumed to be worked around on site Tolerance is used for Hard Clearance and gt Duplicate types of clash test Any clash found that is within this tolerance will be reported whereas clashes outside of this tolerance will be ignored So for Hard clashes a clash with a severity of between zero and the tolerance value will be ignored whereas for Clearance clashes a clash with a gt severity of more than the tolerance value will be ignored as it is further away than the distance required Similarly a Duplicate clash with a gt severity of more than the tolerance value will be ignored as it is likely to be a seperate yet ide
