Moving Assembly question

[Runs With Scissors]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about making an assembly that moves.

I made a box with hinges and I was able to make "Limits", such that the box will not open too far, or close too much; However, those limits were put in place by me, manually.

Alibre also allowed me to set limits that would have not been physically possible in the real world, so if this was a more complex assembly that would have been problematic.

Is there is some setting that would make it so that Alibre would show any "interference problems" if it were real?

There is an Interference Check capability, but it is not dynamic. You can check for (and highlight) interference at any current position, but there is no easy way to find the limit of the interference.

Thank you sir, I appreciate it.
