HD77504: ELECTRICAL (EHI) / TURNED OFF HYBRID BODY OPTION,THE BRANCHABLE IS CREATED IN THE HYBRID BODY

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Electrical (EHI) / turned off Hybrid Body option,the
  Branchable is created in the Hybrid Body
  .
  Preparation:
  Set up the options as following.
  1. The Hybrid Body option is turned off.
  2. The Work with one MBB per GBN option is turned
  on
  3. The Hide Internal harness geometry option is
  turned off.
  .
  Scenario:
  1. Open the HYBRID_BODY_ELEC.CATProduct.
  2. Change the workbench to Electrical Harness
  Assembly W/B.
  3. Click the Multi-branchable document command.
  The workbench is changed to Electrical Harness
  Installation And the Branch Definition window
  appears.
  4. Click the Route Definition button. The Route
  Definition window appears.
  5. Select the Point1 and the Point2.
  6. lick OK button on the Route Definition window,
  and on the Branch Definition window.
  7. Expand the tree.
  .
  Problem: The Branchable are created in the Hybrid
  Body.
  .
  Expected Result: When having turned off a setup of
  Hybrid Body option, the Branchable should be
  created in the Normal Body.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  Incident Diagnosis
  .
  Electrical application creates a hybrid body.
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  .
  Creating a hybrid body for multi-branchable is the
  regular electrical behavior, starting in V5R18. In
  V5R18, a new behavior was introduced to increase
  productivity and to make the electrical model safer.
  This behavior prohibits the edition of mechanical
  features (ribs) owned by the electrical model from
  mechanical workbenches (ie. Part Design). From
  the user point of view, this increases the
  productivity since double clicking on the rib
  launches the branch edition panel. This also
  improves the security and the consistency of the
  data. This could only be achieved using hybrid
  bodies. The use of a hybrid body does not restrict
  other functionalities.
  .
  So the case of this APAR is the nominal case and
  works as designed. The customer should be
  informed accordingly.
