  Additional Closure Information:
  Incident Diagnosis:
  3D Cut (DMU Optimzer) is removing part instead of cutting.
  Technical Explanation of the correction:
  Now we are throwing an error message and informing the user
  in case of non-watertight volumetric input to the 3DCut
  command.
  We have published an article in knowledge base to give more
  details regarding this message: QA00000007042
  The input of the 3D Cut command is constituted of a
  tessellated data-set (triangulated data, or triangular mesh),
  as well as a 3D box defining the volume to cut. The 3D Cut
  command attempts to cut the selected tessellated data-set
  using the input 3D box.
  When it is run, the command identifies all those input
  volumes which are not closed. Once such a volume is
  identified, a warning message is now displayed regarding it,
  and the 3D Cut operation is completed as previously. The aim
  of this warning message is to explain why the 3DCut command
  sometimes appears to provide incorrect results even though
  the CATIA model appears to be OK.
  Note: If the warning pop-up is closed & the preview window is
  closed now Preview button is again clicked then the warning
  message won't be displayed.
  ByPass:
  Re-tessellating the input may help in running the command
  without any error message related to "open-volume".
  Check the knowledge article QA00000006132 for details.
