HD79668: CANNOT SELECT INTERSECT(RESULT:CONTOUR) AS PROFILE OF PAD

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• Cannot select Intersect(Result:Contour) as Profile
  of Pad
  Scenario:
  1. Start CATIA.
  2. Open the CATPart attached to the PMR
  3.Click Pad icon.
  4. Select Intersect.2 as Profile/Surface.
  ==> Cannot select it with the following error
  message.
  -------------------------------------------
  Feature Definition Error
  The selected sketch isn't valid for
  the feature you want to create.
  -------------------------------------------
  Additional Information:
  Intersect.1 is the same as Intersect.2, the only
  difference is that the intersect result is computed
  with the option Surface-Part Intersection Result =
  surface for intersect.1 and contour for Intersect.2
  The Pad accepts the Intersect.1 but the Intersect.2.
  Both should be accepted.

Comments

• Incident Diagnosis
  The intersect operator works consistantly
  in both
  the modes. This is justified because, if you
  compute
  the intersection in the Surface mode, and
  then take the
  boundary of the surface. The PAD
  does not accept this boundary
  as well, throwing the
  same error (input profile is self
  intersecting). So
  there is no problem with the working of
  intersect
  operation.
  Correct Application
  Basically the
  behavior of the PAD feature is not the
  same when you are
  giving the 2D profile as input
  or the surface as input. So you
  get the expected
  behavior of PAD while specifying intersection
  as
  input to the PAD.
