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. |
Measure Item | A curve segment to be
measured is not identified as an arc if the
tessellated points (corresponding to the segment
to be measured) cannot be approximated by an
arc, such that the tessellated points are within
tolerance (which is equal to sag) to the arc.
The image describes a scenario where the
segment to be measured will not be considered as
an arc. The number of points in the tessellated
data is greater than, or equal to, 4. |

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. |
