\page check_self_intersections_page Detect Self-intersections

\n To <b>Detect Self-intersections</b> in the <b>Main Menu</b> select
<b>Inspection - > Detect Self-intersections</b>.

There are two ways to check self-intersections.

\anchor check_self_intersections_topological
<br><h3>Check topological intersections</h2>

This operation checks the topology of the selected shape to detect self-intersections.

In this dialog:

- \b Object - the checked object. \b Selection button allows picking it in the viewer or in the object browser.
- <b>Level of check</b> - combo box allows setting the level of self-interference checking. It defines, which interferences will be checked. The default value is "All interferences".
- <b>Compute self-intersections</b> button performs the computation.
- \b Summary section contains the general report about self-intersections of the object and/or errors that occurred during the computation.
- \b Self-intersections list contains the list of detected self-intersections. Select the intersection to show <b>Sub-shapes</b> in the field to the right. 
- \b Apply and <b>Apply and Close</b> buttons store the interferences selected in the <b>Self-intersections</b> list box in the study for further analysis. 
If no interferences are selected, all of them are published in the study. Each interference is published as a child compound of the source shape and contains a couple of intersecting sub-shapes.

\note This tool is useful for detection of shapes that are not suitable as
arguments of Boolean operations and Partition algorithm.
For more information about Partition and Boolean Operations Algorithms
and their limitations refer to <a href="SALOME_BOA_PA.pdf">this document</a>.

\n <b>Result:</b> Boolean.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.CheckSelfIntersections(theShape, theCheckLevel = GEOM.SI_ALL),</em> \n
where: \n
\em theShape is the shape checked for validity. \n
\em theCheckLevel is the level of check. Default value is GEOM.SI_ALL to check all interferences.

\anchor check_self_intersections_fast
<br><h3>Fast intersection</h2>

This operations allows to quickly detect self-interferences of the given shape by means of algorithm based on mesh intersections.

This algorithm works on the faces level, i.e. it computes only face-to-face intersections. No additional types of intersections is computed.
This case can be useful in order to detect all the intersections between the subshapes of type "surface" inside assembly.
Quality of result will depend on the quality of tesselation (managed via the deflection parameter). However, small values of deflection can
significantly decrease performance of the algorithm.
Nevertheless, performance of Fast Intersect algorithm is much higher than topological intersection.

\n <b>Result:</b> Boolean.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.CheckSelfIntersectionsFast(theShape, theDeflection, theTolerance),</em> \n
where: \n
\em theShape is the shape checked for validity. \n
\em theDeflection is a linear deflection coefficient that specifies quality of tesselation. If theDeflection <= 0, default deflection 0.001 is used.
\em theTolerance Specifies a distance between shapes used for detecting gaps:
     - if theTolerance <= 0, algorithm detects intersections;
     - if theTolerance > 0, algorithm detects gaps.
