APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• HUMBLD : MANKIN NOT PROPERLY LOADED
  BY "NEW FROM".
  SCENARIO:
  0) Start CATIA V5R15SP3.
  1) Open the file : "abc.CATProduct".
  Workbench : "Human Builder".Note the manikin
  posture.
  2) Close "abc.CATProduct".
  3) Select "File" > "New From" in the menu bar."File
  Selection" panel appears.
  4) Select "abc.CATProduct" and click on "Open"
  button."abc.CATProduct" is created.Notice that the
  manikin posture is not the one defined in the
  original "HNJ0144.CATProduct".
  .
  Actual RESULT:The manikin modification is not
  valid when a new file is created by "New From"
  command.
  .
  Expected RESULT:The manikin modification should
  be effective on the new file created by "New From"
  command.

  Incident Diagnosis
  This IR reflects a technical limitation of our current
  (Human Builder) architecture. Explanation follows.
  When the 'New From' command is executed, the
  manikin created acts as if it was a new manikin
  (which is really the case). However, this new
  manikin is not able to assign the old manikin's data
  to itself, because the new manikin has a different
  ID (in fact, each manikin has a unique ID). It
  therefore behaves as any new manikin would, that
  is, it goes to the default posture and position.
  To be able to overcome this limitation, we would
  have to reconsider our architecture. We are NOT
  saying that this is not possible; it IS possible, but
  we cannot do this kind of work at this stage of
  V5R15 or V5R16.
  We understand that this issue comes from a
  customer, but because of the complexity of the
  change that would be required to make this work,
  such a technical change will have to be addressed
  only in a new release.
  This IR will therefore have to be treated as an
  enhancement request. We will log the issue in our
  internal suggestions list.
  Development Request Justification
  See above.
  Answer and By-Pass
  For the current release, we may recommend that
  the user (customer) use catalogs as a
  workaround. That is, the user could save all
  relevant manikin parameters in a catalog, then,
  once the 'New From' is done, open the catalog
  previously saved, and apply the correct data
  (posture, anthropometry, position, ...) to the new
  manikin created.
