Before Migrating a Mock-Up Solid into CATIA V5

 

 

After the Copy/Paste AS SPEC of a V3 SolidM in CATIA V5, the update fails because the contour of the primitive is not closed.

For the migration of a V3 Mock-Up Solid into CATIA V5, you first need to migrate it into CATIA V4 by using the /m solm34 function on the model in CATIA V4. This function allows you to convert the model into format V4 and then, create a good contour of the primitive. After this operation, the migration forward CATIA V5 is successful.

This task shows you how to launch the macro before migrating and how this tool makes a Mock-Up Solid validity (on contours) before copying it to CATIA Version 5. You can get all the specifications of the Solid in CATIA V5.
   
Before migrating, to improve resolution (on contours), it is recommended to launch the solm34 macro:

  • Tape < /m  solm34 > in the text field

  • UPDATE (YES) the solids - in the model -

  • Save the model

 

An automatic compatibility check has occurred on the V3 Solids to be transferred into CATIA V4 and they can be migrated into CATIA V5. You obtain a Solid Exact or a Part with all its specifications in CATIA V5.
If you do not UPDATE the Solid, you may translate an unstable Solid.
