HD87870: CHILD PARTS IN INCORRECT RELATIVE POSITION SENT TO CATIA FROM I NSTANCE OF COPS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Child parts are in incorrect relative position when sent to
  Catia from an instance of a COPS.
  .
  The relative positioning of CATParts is lost in the CATIA
  sesssion when using a COPS under a COPS product structure.
  .
  Scenario:
  1] Search for Part Instance where an assembly is controlled by
  Enovia.
  2] From search results, select instance + Send To Product
  Editor.
  Result: Product editor opens with Product with Approved
  instance
  3] Select the instance and Send To Catia V5 as assembly
  .
  Actual Result: Geometry displays in Catia, but the child
  instances are not in the expected locations, relative to each
  other.
  .
  Expected result: The geometry sent to Catia should look with ch
  ild instances put in the expected locations
  .

  Closure Information:
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  To display the geometry of part
  instance in CATIA, matrix position of that part instance is
  used.
  But to display geometry of product instance in CATIA,
  matrix position of Parent and Assembly Relation is used.
  So
  if this display in CATIA for origin product is correct then
  that means the position of all instances are correct
  i.e.
  parent and child instance position is correct.
  If user want
  to change AR position in context of target product where
  origin product is instantiated then its
  called as Flexible
  assembly and in this case position of child instance will not
  be same in origin and target product.
  ---
  But in this issue
  reported, customer has confirmed that it is not a flexible
  assembly and position in origin product is correct
  whereas in
  target product it is wrong.
  This can be possible of that AR
  position mismatch with respect to origin product in case of
  some data corruption.
  ---
  In such cases, it is possible to
  correct the data if product is not released ( i.e. means it is
  updatable.)
  ---
  But if it is not updatable then user can use
  the "CorrectARMatrixPos" utility to solve their problem .
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  How to use CorrectARMatrixPos
  utility:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  CorrectARMatrixPos -user USERNAME -pwd
  PASSWORD -vid PARTNUMBER -version VERSIONSTRING -report
  REPORTFILE  -simul | -delete
  .
  Where:
  -user USERNAME :
  user name.
  -pwd PASSWORD : user password.
  -vid PARTNUMBER :
  User have to specify parent part number having child part with
  wrong matrix position.
  -version VERSIONSTRING : User have to
  specify version string for parent part having child part with
  wrong matrix position.
  -report REPORTFILE : Tool will create
  reports containing document name which is link to parts are
  not ok and will be deleted.
  -delete : Run the tool and delete
  the invalid property. If not specified, simulation mode will
  be used.
  -simul : Run the tool without committing changes to
  database. This option is assumed unless -delete is given.
  .
  More information related with utility:
  User will provide
  input parameter as part reference and using part reference,
  utility will bring all children Assembly Relation for
  processing.
  Using parent matrix position and child instance
  position, utility will verify that position of AR is correct
  or not.
  If it will find any incorrect AR position then it
  will correct and save it to database depending upon mode
  (simulation or delete mode).
