Problem summary

• Scenario:
  1. Open Provided CATPart.
  2. Copy PartBody.
  3. Right
  Click on PartBody and select Paste Special.
  4. Select 'As
  result with Link'.
  5. Error is displayed which says
  'Impossible Situation'. This is the
  problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN CATIA
  Additional
  Closure Information:
  Diagnosis:
  Copy paste is not possible
  because of the result of the Edge Fillet.
  Indeed even if the
  resulting fillets looks good, there are some
  limitations to
  such fillets internally.
  .
  Reason:
  Input body for fillet
  operation is non-manifold, i.e. some impacted
  edges are
  bounded by more than 2 faces. In this scenario, there are 4
  non manifold edges which each are bounded by 4 faces. You
  will notice
  that you cannot even select these edges. CATIA
  does not support
  non-manifold input bodies and correct
  results in such configurations
  are not guaranteed.
  Non-manifold configurations are extremely rare
  and almost
  always result from an incorrect design.
  .
  By-pass:
  Modify
  the fillet input body in order to avoid the non-manifold
  configuration.
  .
  

Temporary fix
