HD51578: COMPODSG : APT FILE IS NOT CORRECT COMPRED TO PLY DESCRIPTION

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• COMPODSG : APT file is not correct compared to
  PLY description
  .
  SCENARIO:
  1. Open model
  2. FK: COV_EXP / LASER
  Select APT (Neutral format) Manage window
  Activate " Thickness Update "
  From Sequence : *SEQ1
  To Sequence : *SEQ3
  Data File : FILE
  Sag: 0.5
  Step : 1
  Angl : 30
  LPS axis : AXS1
  3. Read APT file
  PROBLEM:
  APT file is not correct compared to
  PLY description -  Z values are incorrect for PLY5
  and PLY6.

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM IS PERMANENT RESTRICTION IN
  CATIA
  
  Restriction Explanation:-
  
  Whenever multiple number of plies share
  a 'common' boundary, the thickness at
  the 'common' boundary, is taken as the summation
  of the thicknesses of the plies lying along
  the 'common' boundary.
  A change in code results in regression and hence
  this problem is a restriction
  .
  Bypass:-
  
  To generate a correct APT file create the composite
  curves for the plies such that there is a minute gap
  (0.1mm atleast) between the two composite
  curves (i.e they do not have a common boundary).
