This task will help you to detect when constraints are broken in CATIA V5 and in ENOVIA LCA, in file-based or workpackage product structure, in Visualization mode.
Saving a CATIA V5 document in ENOVIA LCA and open it in ENOVIA LCA
Opening a CATIA V5 document in CATIA V5 (file-based mode)
Opening a document in CATIA V5 from ENOVIA LCA (workpackage mode).
- Make sure that the Work with the cache system setting is activated in Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Product Structure > Cache Management, because you must work in Visualization Mode. For more information, see Customizing Cache Setting, in Product User's Guide.
- Create or Open a CATProduct containing Constraints without Publications in CATIA V5: Assembly_01.CATProduct for instance.
- Connect to ENOVIA LCA by clicking the first icon
in the ENOVIA LCA
toolbar and the other icons become active:
Saving a CATIA V5 document in ENOVIA LCA and open it in ENOVIA LCA
-
Save this product in ENOVIA LCA.
-
Close this file in CATIA V5.
Opening a CATIA V5 document in CATIA V5 (file-based mode)
-
Open the original document in CATIA V5, from file again, and you can note that constraints are visible in CATIA V5 and there is no "!":
Opening a document in CATIA V5 from ENOVIA LCA (workpackage mode)
-
Send this product from ENOVIA LCA to CATIA V5. When the product is opened in CATIA V5, you can see that constraints are unresolved with the "!" symbol.
In order to solve disconnected constraints, you can:
-
either turn these products into Design Mode by clicking the Representation contextual command > Design Mode,
-
or in the Update panel, click YES to reload the constraints.
