Error description

• CCV: FILLET RADIUS REDUCTION: CREATION
  DEPENDS ON THE OPERATION ORDER
  .
  SCENARIO:
  0. Start CATIA V5
  1. Open CATPart.
  WB ? Core and Cavity design
  CASE OF JOIN FIRST -
  2. Check JOIN is in SHOW mode and SURFACE and
  HIDE mode.
  3. Start fillet radius reduction.
  4. Select JOIN.
  5. Target radius is 2.7mm
  6. Click Apply and OK.
  = No features are created
  CASE OF REDUCE SURFACE FIRST -
  7. Open the model. Check join is HIDE mode and
  SURFACES are SHOW mode.
  8. Start fillet radius reduction.
  9. Select 3 SURFACES.
  10. Target radius is 2.7mm
  11. Click Apply and OK.
  = 3 Features are created.
  12. JOIN the features.
  = JOIN is created.
  .
  PROBLEM:
  If you reduce radius and join, the operation is OK.
  If you join and reduce radius, the operation is not
  OK.

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE
  DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED WITH CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 20 GA LEVEL.
  NOTE THAT DOCUMENTATION WILL ALSO BE
  INCLUDED IN V5R19SP02

  MODIFICATION:
  How to Deal with a Failure
  You have created a fillet, but it is invalid:
  Select the invalid CCVFilletSurface feature in the
  specification tree.
  Find the input elements of the join which you used
  to create the CCVFilletSurface feature (use the
  Parent/Children functionality).
  Edit the join you used as input:
  Check that its free edge is valid, i.e. it does not
  have an inner free edge.
  Should this happen, modify the join tolerance to
  remove this inner free edge.
  If the free edge is valid, remove some faces in
  order to reduce the scope of the Radius Fillet
  Reduction.
  Start the Radius Fillet Reduction again.
  Once you have a satisfactory result, add some
  faces to the join and restart the Radius Fillet
  Reduction.
  You could not create the fillet:
  Try again with a Target radius set to 0.
  Once you have created a fillet with this value,
  create fillets with GSD fillet commands.
  You could not create the fillet on a join:
  Restart the reduction in the reverse order:
  Reduce the fillets on the surfaces first, one by one,
  before creating the join.
  Perform a join on the resulting surfaces.
  Please note that in this case, it is possible that the
  resulting join does not respect the connexity
  tolerance.
