HD54063: EHF - BNS LINKS TO ELECTRICAL NETWORK BUT NOT REFERENCED INTO SPECIFICATION TREE

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• Scenario:
  1- File / Open CATProduct
  2- In 3D area select BNS called "ghostBNS" and
  localize MultiBNS identification into specification
  tree; Expand identified multiBNS
  3- By selecting one by one highlight these 7
  branchables in the 3D area
  The Ghost BNS is never highlighted by selecting
  branchable from specification tree
  4- Create a new Catproduct
  5- Switch to EHF workbench
  6- Into the new CATproduct
  Defined EHF parameter
  Mandatory : Coarse /Regular
  Minimun Angle : What ever the value (90 deg)
  7- Extract Electrical data from
  M87S315151000E1.CATProduct to 3D
  flattening Catproduct within EHF extraction function
  Select the icon then GBN
  Warning appear click OK
  8- Electrical GBN have been extracted to 3D
  flattening CATproduct; an update is required
  9- Update all
  10- Flatten Electrical data of 3D flattening
  Catproduct within EHF Flattening function
  Select icon
  Remaining EHF parameters dialog box appear but
  can not be validate (OK button is frozen)
  11- Select In 3D geometry this BNS
  12- Click on select all branches button
  13- All Electrical network is selected except left one
  (normal cause no electrical connection between
  twice network)
  14- Click on OK
  15- Repeat action from 1 to 10
  16- Select In 3D geometry this BNS
  Impossible to select It
  17- Select In 3D geometry this BNS
  BNS can be selected
  18- Click on select all branches button
  20- More than the Left electrical network is selected
  (normally impossible cause no electrical links
  between them)
  21- Commit flattening operation
  Result:
  Error message :
  Electrical software error inside the flatten command
  .

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 16.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 18 GA level AND ON
  V5R16SP06
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO
  UNREPRODUCIBLE ON V5R17GA.
  Incident Diagnosis
  The harness has a ghost Bundle Segment which
  does not have a branchable. This incorrect data
  was identified by Flatten command and so the
  command stopped.
  Answer and By-Pass
  This problem has been corrected on V5R16 SP6
  and V5R17ga by an internal Incident Report.
