HD08861: CATIA CRASHES AFTER ANALYSIS AND "CLEAR COMPUTATION DATA"

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Prob:CATIA crashes after analysis and "Clear
  Computation Data".
  
  Scenario
  1.Open "Fastened_Connection.CATAnalysis;"
  change the workbench to "Generative Structural
  Analysis,"
  if you are not in the workbench.
  2.Click "Compute" icon.
  3.Select "All" in the "Compute" dialog box.
  4.If the check box of "Preview" is checked, remove
  the check.
  5.Click "OK" button; Run the analysis.
  => The window of "Computation Status" is closed
  automatically.
  7. Select "Clear Storage" icon in the "Solver Tools"
  tool bar.
  8.Check "Clear Computation Data;" click "OK"
  button.
  9.Click "OK" button in the "Confirmation" dialog
  box.
  10.Double click "Properties.1" on the specification
  tree to expand it.
  11.Delete "Fastened Connection.1" from the tree.
  12.Operate from Step.2 to Step.5 to analyze again.
  The Computation Status window soon closes
  automatically
  See the "Computation Status" dialog box.
  The message of "Command interrupted" shows up
  in the middle of
  calculation."
  After clicking of "OK" button, the message of "Click
  OK to terminate."
  appears.
  Click "Ok" button in "Runtime exception" dialog
  box.
  Catia crashes.
  .
  1. Load Fastened_Spring_Connection.CATAnalysis.
  Repeat the steps and carry out the analysis as in
  the Fastened
  Connection Case up to step 5.
  6.The Computation Status window will soon close
  automatically.
  Computation complete C 0 No problem
  Repeat the steps and carry out the analysis in the
  same way as for
  Fastened Connection Case steps 7 to 12.
  Also, in Step.11 remove "Fastened Spring
  Connection.1".
  .
  In the provided models
  Fastened_Connection.CATAnalysis and
  Fastened_Spring_Connection.CATAnalysis, only the
  definitions of
  "Properties.1" and Connection in the tree are
  different, the remaining
  settings are absolutely identical.
  .
  cur on the UNIX version.                .
                                          It can be seen from the
  above that,                             If you compare the two c
  ases of "Fastened                       Connection" and "Fastene
  d                                       Spring Connection", even
   though the operation                   carried out is identical
                                          , the former case can be
   analyzed with no problem               whereas in the latter
                                          case CATIA crashes.
  
  Accordingly, there is some kind of problem with
  the "Fastened Spring
  Connection" case.
  .
  After analysis completion, when "Clear
  Computation Data" is selected
  and the defined "Fastened Spring Connection"
  removed, CATIA should not
  terminate abnormally when analysis is then re-
  performed
  
  .

  .
  This problem does not occur on the UNIX version.
  .
  It can be seen from the above that,
  If you compare the two cases of "Fastened
  Connection" and "Fastened
  Spring Connection", even though the operation
  carried out is identical
  , the former case can be analyzed with no problem
  whereas in the latter
  case CATIA crashes.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 13 GA lev
  el.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R12SP01 AND
  V5R11SP05.
