HD51223: MPA / GLOBAL FEATURE RECOGNITION / HOLES COMBINED IN WRONG DIRE CTION WHEN CREATING HOLE PATTERNS

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• MPA / GLOBAL FEATURE RECOGNITION / HOLES
  COMBINED IN WRONG DIRECTION WHEN
  CREATING HOLE PATTERNS
  .
  SCENARIO
  .
  1) Open a new part and create a box solid.
  2) Insert a hole in one direction with a flat bottom.
  3) Insert a second concentric hole in the opposite
  direction.
  4) Select the entire solid and run MPA to find the
  holes and create Machining Patterns. MPA creates
  only one counterbored holes from the two holes in
  the opposite direction. MPA is only doing feature
  recognition.
  5) If you are using Tool Design and have
  Technological Results, we have now way to create
  Machining Patterns. This is critical to Tool and Die.
  .
  PROBLEM
  .
  MPA creates only one counterbored holes from the
  two holes in the opposite direction. MPA is only
  doing feature recognition
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT
  .
  MPA should create a different hole patterns, for
  holes with opposite direction.

Comments

• THIS APAR IS CONSIDERED AS A SUGGESTION
  FOR IMPROVEMENT WHICH CANNOT BE
  INCORPORATED IN VERSION V5R17
  PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT DEPARTMENT IN
  ORDER TO OPEN A REQUIREMENT FORM.
  .
  Presently we are using Feature recognition Method
  to recognise the feature.
  This is done based on the Geometrical information
  present in the CATPart.
  Present Limitation in Recognition is -
  It does not take in to consideration of the Design
  Information provided during the Part Creation
  Due to the above reason, Recognition Fails to
  recognise With Design Intention.
  A substantial enhancement and development needs
  to be done in order to implement this behavior
  which is not possible in APAR time period
