Interference detection for multibody parts

- [Instructor] Anytime you're finishing an assembly, one of the best tools SOLIDWORKS has is Interference Detection. That allows you to figure out if things are overlapping or maybe you have a hole that's too big or too small for your part and there's a lot of data you can get from this tool just to make sure your assembly is exactly the way it should be and things are not interfering. Now for SOLIDWORKS 2019, we have the ability to use Interference Detection on parts. If you have multibody parts, you can see what's interfering between the multibody parts So, let's go ahead and run it and see what happens. Right up here is Interference Detection under the Evaluate toolbar, click on that one. And go ahead an click on Calculate. Oh my god, look at that. There's a rocket inside of my part. I would never have known that was in there but there it is clear as day. It actually shows where it is, where it's interfering. You can go down here and take a look at some of the different options…
