# Clash Detection Analysis

## Overview

This skill implements automated clash detection for BIM models. Identify conflicts between building elements before construction to prevent costly rework and delays.

**Types of Clashes:**
- **Hard Clash**: Physical intersection of elements
- **Soft Clash**: Clearance/tolerance violations
- **Workflow Clash**: Scheduling/sequencing conflicts

> "Обнаружение коллизий на этапе проектирования может сократить затраты на исправление ошибок до 10 раз по сравнению с исправлением на стройплощадке."

## Quick Start

```python
import ifcopenshell
import ifcopenshell.geom
import numpy as np
from itertools import combinations

# Open model
ifc = ifcopenshell.open("model.ifc")

# Get structural and MEP elements
structural = ifc.by_type("IfcColumn") + ifc.by_type("IfcBeam")
mep = ifc.by_type("IfcPipeSegment") + ifc.by_type("IfcDuctSegment")

# Simple bounding box clash check
settings = ifcopenshell.geom.settings()

def get_bbox(element):
    try:
        shape = ifcopenshell.geom.create_shape(settings, element)
        verts = np.array(shape.geometry.verts).reshape(-1, 3)
        return verts.min(axis=0), verts.max(axis=0)
    except:
        return None, None

def check_bbox_clash(bbox1, bbox2):
    min1, max1 = bbox1
    min2, max2 = bbox2
    if min1 is None or min2 is None:
        return False
    return np.all(max1 >= min2) and np.all(max2 >= min1)

# Find clashes
clashes = []
for s_elem in structural:
    for m_elem in mep:
        bbox1 = get_bbox(s_elem)
        bbox2 = get_bbox(m_elem)
        if check_bbox_clash(bbox1, bbox2):
            clashes.append({
                'element1': s_elem.GlobalId,
                'element2': m_elem.GlobalId,
                'type': 'Structure-MEP'
            })

print(f"Found {len(clashes)} potential clashes")
```
