Collision Detection is not activated on V2015.1

Hello all

Following some recent discussions on program safety last week, I've been looking into the Collision Detection in PC-DMIS.

I've found that this function does not appear to be available in our current V2015.1 (Pic 1). This is unexpected, as the 2015 core manual indicates they should be present. Additionally, the "Clearance Moves" option (circled in Pic 2) is also missing.

Could I be missing a specific setting or configuration to enable these features?  Thank you for your insights and responses.

  • Not really since I learned that IGES automatically fixes all the surface vectors on import. I have noticed occasionally that some surfaces let you "click through them" not that the point vector is wrong, but that they seem to have their cloaking fields on until you rotate your view slightly. 

    I have experienced a few models that were broken in some way no matter what you did or how you imported them. Twice from the same customer with weird "tears" in the surfaces (that was super not fun)
