HD98426: Analysis (GSA): CATIA abends or freezes when computing the Mesh.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario: (Data Specific)
  1. Start CATIA.
   2. Open CATPart
   3. Switch workbench to Generative Structural Analysis.
   4. Select "Static Analysis" as New Analysis Case.
   5. Edit parameters of the mesh as:
   6. On Global tab, set the values "Size: 5mm" and "Absolute sag:
   2mm". Then select "Parabolic" as Element type.
   7. Switch to Local tab, then select "Edge distribution" and cli
  ck "add" button.
   8. Select the Edge and click "OK" button.
   9. Select "Imposed points" and select the point. Then, click "O
  K" button.
  10. Click "OK" button of OCTREE Tetrahedron Mesh window.
  11. Compute mesh.
  Problem:
  CATIA crashes or freezes while computing mesh.
  Expected Result:
  Mesh should be computed properly
  

Local fix

• empty
