HD53872: WHEN ACCESSING ANALYSIS LOCAL SENSOR FROM VBA, IT'S VALUE IS UNSET

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When accessing analysis local sensor from VBA, it's
  value is unset.
  .
  Preparation:
  Since this problem relies heavily on macros, you
  must first set your Excel security level to medium
  using Tools > Macro > Security
  .
  Scenario(R14 No problem):
  1.Start CATIA V5 R14
  2.Open "ANALYSIS1.CATAnalysis" Fully expand
  the sensor section of the model tree.
  3. Open "MacroFile.xls", press ALT + F11 for the
  VBA window, go to Module1, Select View>Locals
  Window.
  4.Split the windows so that you can see both at the
  same time.
  5. Put the Cursor at the last line of the macro ("End
  Sub") then run macro using Debug > Run To
  Cursor, after inspect that nothing has changed in
  the sensors. Do not stop the macro yet.
  6.Browse to the sensor values using the Local
  Window. Under "analysisEntities1" open item 2 to 9
  You can find the sensor values by opening this
  path:
  analysisEntities > Item(2 to 9) >
  OutPutParameters > Item 1 > Value
  Scenario(R16:Defect problem):
  7. Close R14, start CATIA V5 R16SP4
  8. Open "ANALYSIS1.CATAnalysis" Fully expand
  the sensor section of the model tree.
  9. Open "MacroFile.xls", press ALT + F11 for the
  VBA window, go to Module1, Select View>Locals
  Window.
  10. as step 5 (Run the "Main" macro).
  Notice that sensor 1 and 2 are !
  Do not stop the macro yet.
  Problem: When accessing analysis local sensor
  from VBA, it's value is unset.
  .
  Expected Result:
  When accessing analysis local sensor from VBA,
  sensor value should be acquired correctly
