Hi Jiying Jia,
The “findclash” default is to ignore interactions between atoms that are separated by 4 or fewer bonds, and this is controlled by the “bondSeparation” option. For example, to ignore only interactions between pairs of atoms that are directly bonded (separated by 1 bond), you would use a command something like:
findclash #0 test #0 bondSep 1
… giving results shown in attached image, except I changed the line colors afterwards.
You can use command “help findclash” to see the findclash manual page (which explains the options and their default values), or see it on our website here:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

The command I use is "findclash #0 test #0" or "findclash #0 overlapCutoff value test #0", but I found that two close atoms (14C,16C, dis=0.8) are not identified as "overlaped" while another two atoms (11C, 16C, dis=1.8) whose distance is larger are overlaped... Is there anything wrong about understanding the overlap?
