HC44502: ANSOLID : PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS IN APPLICATION OF CONTACT LOADS ON SURFACE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IMPROVEMENT OF PERFORMANCE IN ANSOLID WHEN APPLYING CONTACT LOAD
  ON SURFACE
  .
  1/ Read the model
  2/ ANSOLID LOAD
  3/ apply CONTACT load on one of the cylindrical surfaces
     ===> it takes very long time for creating the load
          (15 minutes on oSGI OCTANE with 512 Meg of RAM)
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  ANSOLID : performance problem when applying contact restrain
  or load on a surface of a complex volume
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON
    CATIA VERSION 4 RELEASE 2.1 REFRESH 1 GA level  (FREL421R1)
  
   TECHNICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE CORRECTION:
  Performance problem in GSCGCV routine used when defining virtual
  part visualization. The performance improvement is limited
  to the case where contact restrain or load is bounded with
  plane or circle
  
   ANSWER AND POSSIBLE BY-PASS:
  Reduce volume complexity if possible ( number of geometrical
  entities )
  

Temporary fix
