HE08654: THE WIRES CONTAINED INTO A WIREGROUP ARE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE INERTIA CALCULATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Scenario (Step by Step):
  1. Set French as Regional Language in the Windows settings
  (the comma must be the decimal separator)
  2. Start CATIA V5
  3. Open the file " ENSEMBLE.CATProduct ".
  4. Activate the workshop "Equipements & Systems > Electrical
  Harness Discipline > Electrical Wire Routing .
  5. Create the electric harness with "Harness g￩om￩trique1" as
  reference.
  6. Use the function " Select external systems " and choose
  "H200_Fils" as current system.
  7. Use the command " automatic Routing of the wires ": Select
  all the wires " as 'wire / group ofwires to forward " and
  click on "route".
  Result: The report of routing is in accordance and all is
  correct.
  8. Execute the update.
  9. Activate the workshop " Equipments and Systems >
  Electrical Harness Discipline > Electrical Harness Assembly
  ".
  10. Execute the command " Measure geometrical bundle inertia
  " and select " Harness ￩lectrique1 " (Electrical Bundle1).
  Result: a section "Paremeters" containing "Equivalent_xxx",
  appears in the geometrical harness (cf. image_002).
  11. Execute the command " Measure inertia " and select the
  product root " Product2 ".
  Result: The result is correct. The mass of the harness
  corresponds well to the wires + connectors ( image_003 ):
  0,456kg
  12. Close the product
  13. Repeat the steps 3. to 11, replacing H200_fils by
  H200_Cable at the point 6.
  Note that in the point 7, it is not possible to select only
  the wires as the objects to be forwarded. Only the selection
  of the group of wires is possible.
  ERROR: In the point 10, note that the setting
  Equivalent_masse is 0 ( image_004 ). The measures of the COG
  and the mass does not display.
  The mass of the wires is not taken into account in the
  inertia measure (image_005).
  Expected behavior: the mass of the routed wires should be
  taken into account, either they are in a wiregroup or not.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON Virtual Design  VERSION V5R22
  GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20 SP7.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R21 SP2.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  Wires inside a Wire Group were not taken into consideration
  while calculating GBN inertia.
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  While calculating Mass and CoG of the GBN, only wires were
  taken into consideration. Added code to take into
  consideration all the Wires (including wires inside the Wire
  Groups) for calculating the mass.
