We have two parts assembled with a mechanism joint. A mechanism analysis is defined that forces one part over the other with a slight interference. I would like to create a measure that captures the volume of interference at each time step during the motion, and dump that into a spreadsheet, but the measures that are available to me within mechanism do not provide for the ability to do interference checks (as far as I can tell). We can do this for simple measurements (like tracking the distance between 2 points during the motion, etc) but no interference checking.
We can go back into standard mode and create an analysis feature that does provide us with the volume of interference, but only during one instant in time - not the entire motion range. We can run a motion study in standard mode, but there appears to be no way to track the global interference analysis feature during the motion.
This seems like its something that we should be able to do - we have all the pieces needed, but can't figure out how to put them together to make it work. Any ideas?
