HD59106: SMD : WHEN CHANGING SHEETMETAL STANDARD FILES THE

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Problem description:
  To change my material of a sheet-metal-part from
  steel to stainless steel, when changing the sheet-
  metal-standard-file and updating the CATPart all
  bend-radius-entries in the bends are set to 0 and
  the link to an deduction-table is deleted.
  ==> Result: The unfolded view is wrong!
  After manually setting the configuartion to the right
  value, here 1, the unfolded view is correct.
  For assistance see the attached "Scenario Bend
  Radius.doc".
  .
  Scenario:
  1. open attached CATPart in workbench Sheet
  Metal Design
  2. select icon "Sheet Metal Parameters"
  3. click "Sheet Standard Files ..."-button
  4. switch filetype to *.txt and select
  "_Niropraeg.txt", click "open"
  5. select thickness 1,25mm
  6. klick OK, update that part
  7. open attached CATDrawing
  8. update the drawing and see the dimension
  "752,896"
  9. switch to the CATPart and open part-body in the
  product-tree
  10. set the configuration for the bend radius table
  of all four bends to
  11. update the CATPart, then the CATDrawing
  ==> now you see the right value "750,6" as
  dimensioned

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  .
  Incident Diagnosis :
  when using and changing the bend radius table, the
  link to bend deduction table is lost
  .
  Restriction Explanation :
  The design tables of the part are modified with the
  Sheet Metal Parameters: this generates the
  modification of the local tables of bend. But when
  modifying the tables, you do not know which line of
  the table the radius bend must associated with (the
  configuration of Bend Radius Table is 0). So, the
  user must update the tables manually. To be able
  to manage such scenario it needs a development.
  This is not possible on Sheetmetal Design (old
  workbench). We only make development on
  Generative SheetMetal Design.
  .
  By-Pass :
  To update the tables manually: edit the Bend
  Radius Table which is below each bend and select
  the line in the table.
