Hi,

Is there any way I can use some other point of the object to measure distance?

If you connect proximity meter to point or some other point, the whole software crasses. Always.

    Hi Karli,

    If there is a crash occurring, you should send the model to the Altair customer support team with an explanation.  Proximity in 2023 release is working well for me.

    Make note that a Proximity will measure the closest distance between two parts at all times.  It is not locked to two specific points.  Instead, you can use a measure for that.  A proximity will also change color according to conditions of - Clearance, Touching or Interference.

    As a side note, Systems can be attached to any part at any point and allow you to plot the displacement of that point (System location).

    Hi,

    Yeah, now I found that I can use measure and it shows x,y and z components also.

    I could send all the crashes, but that would be a alot o work...because it crashes a lot or it only shows "contact to altair". But your right, they can make the program better if they know the crashes.
