HD62546: GSD: EXTRUDE: GEOMETRY IS NOT DISPLAYED CORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• GSD: EXTRUDE: GEOMETRY IS NOT DISPLAYED
  CORRECTLY WHEN SPIRAL IS EXTRUDED
  .
  SCENARIO:
  0) Start CATIA.
  1) File / New / Part
  = Go to GSD W/B
  2) Create Spiral
  = SupportAbsolute Axis System \ XY Plane
  = CenterPoint: Absolute Axis \ Origin
  = Reference direction: Absolute Axis System\X Axis
  = Start radius: 15mm
  = Orientation: Counterclockwise
  = Type: Radius & Pitch
  = End radius: 80mm
  = Pitch: 1.5mm
  3. Create Extrude surface by Spiral.
  = Profile: Spiral1
  = Direction: Absolute Axis System\Z Axis
  = Limit1
  = Type: Dimension
  = Dimension : 20mm
  = Limit2
  = Type:Dimension
  = Dimension : 0mm
  .
  OBSERVATION:
  The visualization is bad. The extruded surface is
  displayed incorrectly.
  .

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 18 GA level.
  Incident Diagnosis:
  Bad tessellation during extrude operation.
  Correction Explanation:
  Not enough points. Corrected.
  The visualization is now correct.
