Intersection Vs Penetration ?

Hello,

 

I couldn't distinguish between intersection and penetration. In the model (image in the link below), i could see the penetration of elements, still the penetration check tool shows no penetration, only intersections.

 

My doubt is whether penetration is checked only with certain normal angle?

    Hi Ahilan,

     

    I can see that you have solid elements in your model. From Help:
