Migrating Step by Step...

Once the options are set up, you can launch the migration batch.

For more information on the Migration Batch, refer to the V4 Integration User's Guide - User Tasks - Migration in Batch Mode.

Select Tools > Utility...
The Batch Monitor window opens.

Double-click the DataLifeCycle utility:

The DataLifeCycle dialog box opens. Set the migration batch environment and select the document to migrate.

Click Run. When the migration is performed, you get the migration.CATProduct in your target directory, as well as CATParts and other documents.
Open the migration.CATProduct in CATIA V5.
If the Update All icon is activated, you need to update your document.

If need be, click Update All .

You may have a message indicating a problem in the geometry area such as:

A twisted configuration on a bundle segment
See Reference Information.
A fillet which needs to be modified
Refer to Part Design User's Guide.

Then you need to complete the information for a certain number of V5 components.
Select the reference so the modification will be performed on all the instances.

For single insert connectors

On V5 single insert connectors, the Representation of the connector connection point and the Contact constraint correspond to the migrated point of the CPP of the V4 SIC.
Coincidence and Orientation constraints must be added, using Electrical Library.

Select the single insert connector as shown above: GLY-002
See the specification tree below.
Using the right-mouse button, select Open in New Window to open the CATPart reference.

Double-click the *CPP4 in the Electrical container

The Connector Connection Point Definition dialog box opens:

Refer to Electrical Library User's Guide - User Tasks - Defining Electrical Connection Points.

Select the face as Contact

Select the axis as Coincidence

The result looks like this:

To use the Orientation constraint on this sample, you would need to create the geometry (such as a notch). Refer to Generative Shape Design User's Guide.
Click OK to validate the entry made.

The publication has been generated.

Specification Tree

Repeat these steps for the other single insert connector:

Select ELEC2
See the specification tree below.
Add the placement constraints to the *CPP5.

Using Electrical Library:

Disconnect

then re-connect

the single insert connectors to create the mechanical constraints.
Refer to Electrical Library User's Guide - User Tasks - Connecting/Disconnecting Devices.

To connect a single insert connector to an equipment or connector shell

You need to add a cavity connection point to the single insert connector and add or complete the definition of a cavity to the equipment or connector shell.

Adding a cavity connection point to the single insert connector

With the same methodology, select migration_ECP-GLY-001_xxSET2 for example and open it in new window.

Using Electrical Library, click Define Cavity Connection Point

Select the face for the Representation and the Contact, and the axis for the Coincidence.

Refer to Electrical Library User's Guide - User Tasks - Defining Electrical Connection Points.

The cavity connection point is created:

Completing the definition of a cavity to the equipment or connector shell: here a connector shell.

Select the connector shell:SHELL-GLY-002and open it in new window.
The cavities exist, but information is missing: you need to define the geometry of a pocket for example. Refer to Part Design User's Guide.

Then using Electrical Library, select GLY-01 and click Define Cavity

Select the pocket for the Representation, the face for the Contact, and the axis for the Coincidence.
Repeat the operations for GLY-02.

Refer to Electrical Library User's Guide - User Tasks - Defining Electrical Connection Points.

The cavity definition is completed:

You now need to connect the single insert connector to the connector shell:

Click Connect Electrical Devices

Select the single insert connector

then the connector shell cavity.
