HD62386: ENOVIA-CATIA V5 (ELECTRICAL) / ROUTE DEFINITION (EXTERNAL REFER ENCE) LINK IS LOST WHEN SUPPORT NAMES ARE SAME IN ASSEMBLIES

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• ENOVIA-CATIA V5 (Electrical) / ROUTE DEFINITION
  (External Reference) LINK IS LOST WHEN
  SUPPORT NAMES ARE SAME IN ASSEMBLIES
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Create an Electrical PRC in ENOVIA
  2. Create a Part Instance Owned by ENOVIA for
  the Left Hand Side Electrical Zone
  3. Create a Part Instance Owned by ENOVIA for
  the Right Hand Side Electrical Zone
  4. Create a Part Instance Owned by CATIA under
  the Left Hand Side Elecrical Zone (Instance) for the
  Left Hand Side GBN
  5. Repeat 4 for the Right Hand Side
  6. Create a Left Hand Side Part Instance Owned by
  ENOVIA as   a place holder for all the supports to
  be added
  7. Repeat 6 for the Right hand Side
  8. Send the LHS assembly under the PRC to CATIA
  as Assembly
  9. Electrify the GBN and add connectors to
  complete the GBN Assembly (need to have catalog
  of connectors)
  10. Add P Clamp Supports (from electrical catalog)
  into LHS Support place holder.
  11. Create Routing in the Left Hand Side GBN to
  and include the P Clamps in the Routing.
  12. Save to ENOVIA.
  13. Repeat step 8 through 12 for the RHS
  Assembly.
  14. Close all active sessions in CATIA.
  15. Refresh Database in ENOVIA and Save -
  locking as necessary.
  16. Send only the LHS Assembly to CATIA.
  17. Switch to Design mode if CACHE is on
  18. Double click on the Multibranchable and
  activate the CATPart. A popup Branch Defintion
  should occur, and from here select Route Defintion.
  19. Observe Route Defintion that specifies a list of
  P Clamps or Supports, linked to the Harness.
  20. Close the LHS session in CATIA.
  21. Send the entire PRC to CATIA.
  22. Switch to Design Mode if CACHE is on.
  23. Repeat step 18.
  24 Observer Route Definition that specifies a list of
  Point and Projection information rather than the
  expected P-Clamp links.
  .
  This is the problem.
  .
  25. Close the Right Hand Assembly (Cut from the
  tree) in CATIA.
  26. Repeat step 18 and observe that the Links are
  back as in Step 19.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  ENOVIA
  .
  RESTRICTION EXPLAINATION :
  Incident Diagnosis :
  ENOVIA-CATIA V5 (Electrical) / ROUTE DEFINITION
  (External Reference) LINK IS LOST WHEN
  SUPPORT NAMES ARE SAME IN ASSEMBLIES
  .
  Restriction Justification :
  In this particular situation (ENOVIA + GBN stored in
  black-box + Support out of the GBN) to be able to
  maintain the linkage between supports and bundle
  segment, a naming convention based on
  instance name of the support is used. With this
  model, 2 supports have the same instance name
  (the instance name is unique relatively to its
  father) so when both side are loaded, the route
  definition panel cannot know which is the correct
  one to choose. This is why it is diplayed this
  manner.
  .
  This is also relevant with the observation that when
  user open just one side, there is no ambiguity (as
  only one support with instance name is found) so
  support is retreived.
  .
  By-Pass
  Have different instance name for supports.
  .
  .
