HD77609: ELECTRICAL (EHI) / IF SUPPORT IS ADDED TO A BUNDLE, CATIA V5

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• Electrical (EHI) / If support is added to a bundle,
  CATIA V5 Harness model breaks
  .
  Scenario:
  1. Open "CATProduct"
  2. Select "MBB", Click "Multi-Branchable Document"
  Icon for adding "SUPPORT" into "MBB"
  3. Select "Branchable.3", Click "Branch Definition"
  Icon
  4. Click "Route Definition" Button, Click "Point44",
  Check "Add before",
  Click "SUPPORT" in Spec Tree, Click "OK" Button.
  As result, model is waiting for Update
  .
  Problem:
  1. The branch point was moved on space.
  2. SPLICE#3 (5B-5D) position was moved.
  3. "Update Error" is displayed. by selecting "Bundle
  Segment Definition"
  from "Branch Definition of Branchable.3". Start
  point is same as End point
  4. Bundle Segment ID is same. Display becomes
  change by executing Expand and Collapse
  5. It can not update. By clicking Update Button,
  error occurs
  6. It cannot Update, even if it executes
  Desk. "Duplication of Bundle ID" can not avoid
  .
  Expected result: Support should be added
  succesfully without breaking the Branchable.
  .

  Incident Diagnosis
  .
  In R16SP5 level, this KO behaviour is as a result of two
  problems
  1) Problem1: in R16SP5 code where in addition of support in
  route modifies the Reference Points of Branch Points which
  refer the correct Point features at Branch Extremity.
  .
  2) Problem2: in data itself where in the Branch points are
  refering Vertex of Curve insead of Point features at the
  Branch
  Ends. User has to follow the Procedure mentioned in the ppt to
  get the desired result.
  .
  Development Request Justification
  .
  Problem1: is unreproducible on R18 And R19 levels. The
  correction fixes
  the first problem, Now after Addition of Support the Reference
  Points of Branch Points are not tampered.
  .
  For the problem2: Suggestion for improvement
  The problem occurs because two of the Branch Points in the
  Edited Branch are refering Vertex of ElecCurve instead of
  refering to point features. The Build of Curve being unable to
  generate consistent topologies after scenario the Branch
  Points refer altogether new vertices at different location
  leading
  to Update KO.
  .
  A fix for generating stable Topology for Curve
  -> has huge impacts and
  -> leads to Breaking of Existing models in which
  features refer Curve Topology.
  -> Also this case(Branch Point refering Vertices instead of
  Point
  features) is very rare
  .
