HD86487: MACHINING (PMG) / CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION IS DONE IN TWO PATHS.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• Machining (PMG) / Circular interpolation is done in
  two paths.
  .
  SCENARIO:
  -Open Catia R18Sp3
  -Open CATProcess
  -Make an APT file of "Program"
  .
  -Open this process on R19Sp3
  -Force compute of program
  -Make an APT file of "Program"
  .
  -Compare the files of R18 and R19
  -There is difference on the circular interpolation
  between R18 and R19.
  -In the R19 apt file, the circle seems to be made in
  two parts.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  We should be able to generate this file with a
  circular interpolation in one part, like on R18.
  .
  .

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 19.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  AND ON V5R19SP05
  .
  Incident Diagnosis
  PMG - Circular Milling - Circular interpolation is
  done in 2 paths (2 circles).
  Reason
  this is a correct result; when a recover is defined, a
  circle greater than 2 PI is computed; in this case,
  the circle is splited in 2 circle arcs.  In general, if
  the problem occurs for specific NC, it's managed at
  the PP level.
