HC88959: GENSTRESS : PART CANNOT BE MESHED (ERROR MESSAGE WHEN MESHING)

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• DESCRIPTION :
  The CATPart (imported from CATIA V4) cannot be meshed.
  
  STEP BY STEP SCENARIO:
  - Open "FEM02_culasse_V5R7SP3.CATPart".
  - Start/Analysis & Simulation/Generative Structural Analysis
  - Static Analysis : OK.
  - In Finite Element Model/Nodes and Element
  - Double click : OCTREE 3D.1 : Part1
  - In the panel : OCTREE 3D Mesh.
      Global sag : 2,5 mm,
      Element type : Linear.
  - Local : local size, ADD.
   Local Mesh size :
   Supports : Select the faces to apply the entity :
    4 faces (higher).
   Values : 2,5 mm ou 1 mm ==> OK.
  - Select Compute icon.
  - Mesh only ==> OK.
  ==> ERROR : OCTREE 3D.1 mesh : Part1 can't mesh its
  corresponding part
  or assembly connection check the existence and the validity
  of this associed datum.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  THE PART CANNOT BE MESHED
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE RESTRICTION:
  The V4 volumic part contais 2 faces with geometrical
  problems (auto intersection of edges). The problem can be
  seen when those only two faces are migrated from V4.
  
  Those two connected faces are *FAC5073 and *FAC5038 and
  the problem is not detectable when migrating from V4 to
  V5.
  
   BY-PASS:
  The bypass is to redesign the two faces with CATIA V4 or
  V5 by re computing the intersection of the two support
  surfaces : *SUR4241 and *SUR4223
