Parameter
Value Type
Description
analysis_name
Existing Analysis
This parameter gets assigned the name of an existing simulation analysis.
treat_flex_as_rigid
Boolean
Decides if the flexible bodies should be treated as rigid bodies while executing the clearance study.

Extended Definition:

■ The clearance study which is being carried out uses the analysis specified by the existing_analysis parameter as the basis of the study.
 
Note:  
This command is for computing post-processing clearances only. Run-time clearances will not be computed using this command.
 
Caution:  
Clearance Studies are not designed to handle cases where one geometry (I or J) is completely enclosed by the other. Unexpected results can occur.
