HD10306: ADVMESTO : DOMAIN REMESH SPECIFICATIONS ARE LOST WHEN MESH IS E DITED

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• STEP BY STEP SCENARIO:
  1. open the CATPart
  2. Switch to advanced meshing tools
  3. use the following specifications to mesh the part
  a. mesh size- 25mm
  b. constrain sag- 2.5mm
  c. Angle between curves- 10 deg
  d. Angle between faces- 10 deg
  e. select strip optimization
  f. Select directional mesh and minimize triangles
  g. Use merge during simplification; min size
  5mm
  4. Do the geometry simplification
  5. Use imposed elements and select the element
  option
  6. type in 3 in edit element distribution window
  selecting the edge of the flange
  7. similarly do for the other edge too
  8. Mesh the part
  9. The mesh looks as shows in the slide 1 of the
  power point
  10. Select Remesh domain; mapped quad option;
  impact neighbouring domain; mesh size 25mm
  11.Select the flange
  12. Mesh looks like as shown in slide 2
  13. Exit out of the mesher
  14. Edit this mesh by double clicking and selecting
  the yes option
  15. Remove the existing mesh using "Remove
  mesh" command
  16. Mesh the part again without making any other
  changes
  17. It produces mesh like shown in slide 3
  18. The problems are
  a. It doesn't remember the domain remeshing
  done on this
  b. It doesn't even produces the same mesh as
  done before- see the difference between slide 1
  and slide 3 (No consistency in the algorithm)
  
  .

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THE PROBLEM WAS SUBMITTED ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 11.
  THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPRODUCIBLE ON :
  CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 13 GA level AND ON V5R12SP01
  
  THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE CODE THAT IS NOW FIXED. THE MESH DOM
  AIN IS NOW SAVED AND REMESHING THE PART LEADS TO THE GOOD RESUL
  TS.
