Error description

• According to product help, it's possible to define "Class" or
  "Object" as Variant. When applying stereotype <<Variant>>
  against an object and mapping the object Type to a class.
  Stereotype of <<Variation Point>> and <<Variant>> shouldn't be
  applied to Part/Object
  but actually those two stereotype are accessible from the
  feature dialog of Part/Object.
