This page deals with the following products:
Measure Item vs. mass
computation improvement |
Measure Item takes advantage of the improvements made to the mass computation precision on the R18 level. Consequently, measure item results on a same CATPart vary between R17 and R18 levels. |
Knowledgeware rule-based clash
computation for SDD Design Units or SFD Systems |
If you want to launch a
knowledgeware rule-based clash computation under
the following circumstances:
|
Multi-CPU computer mode and
clash calculation |
Multi-CPU computer mode
(designed to distribute the clash calculation
among processors) is no longer activated by
default because it could lead to serious
problems. Workaround: It is still
supported but is only available on request (we
provide a specific variable for those who want
to continue to work in multi-CPU computer mode). |
Exporting section results in VRML format | To view the section results in a browser that is different from the CATIA dedicated viewer, change the background color of that browser. |

|
Measuring geometry & inertia | Measures made using Measure Between, Measure Item, and Measure Inertia take all items into account even those located in the No Show space. |
Measure Inertia Measure Item |
The center of gravity value
result differs depending on the command you are
using (Measure Inertia or Measure Item). This is
a standard behavior because:
|
Measure Between |
Workaround: Use Any geometry, infinite mode for Measure Between. |
Measuring distances (Measure
Between) in
the Section viewer |
Workaround: To measure distances between centers of arcs, set the Selection mode to Arc center. |
Measures (Item and Between) and 3D XML | In 3D XML format, when you
save a product containing Measure Between or
Measure Item that is stored in a complex DMU
Review structure (with sub-reviews), the
measures between are also saved in the 3D XML
file. However, when you reopen the 3D XML file, the Measure Between is created in a default DMU Review but the complex DMU Review structure is not retained. |

Japanese Language Support in Second XML type | Second XML type: To ensure the availability of Japanese language support, select the Support for long filenames check box in DMU Clash - Process tab (Tools > Options > Digital Mockup > DMU Space Analysis). |
Measuring Distances on Section Results | The maximum distance cannot be computed on the Section Results. |

Sections and 3D XML | This issue will be corrected
on a forthcoming SP level:
|
Measure Item | When you perform a measure on a solid (for example, a pad), the measure value is the one of the whole Part Body document (The selected object is not taken into account for the measure calculation). Therefore, the measure result is incorrect. |
Sectioning and CATDrawing documents | This issue will be corrected
on a forthcoming SP Level:
The current V5 session is inadvertently terminated under the following circumstances:
Workaround: Close the Section Result window before opening a CATDrawing document. |
Sectioning and CATAnalysis documents | To take advantage of sectioning capabilities in a CATAnalysis document, open the linked CATProduct before running the sectioning command. |
Measuring in Visual Comparison viewer | Measures made in the Visual Comparison viewer are displayed in the main document window. |
