HD58324: EWR - INCORRECT BUNDLE SEGMENT DIAMETER AFTER WIRE ROUTING

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Scenario :
  1- Open the CATProduct file
  2- Double click on Bundle Segment.1 in the
  specification tree : diameter is 20 mm
  3- Enter Tools / Options / Equipment and Systems
  and choose the Electrical Process Interfacing tab.
  4- Specify the location of the System Repository
  5- Select the 'Select External Systems' icon and
  change the xml file from Available systems to
  Current Systems
  6- Click on Automatic Wire Routing icon.
  7- Select all wires in the dialog box and click on
  Route button to start the wire routing.
  8- Update harness.
  9- Double click on Bundle Segment.1 in the
  specification tree to see which diameter the
  segment has.
  Result :
  After wire routing diameter bundle segment is
  42.684 mm
  Expected Result :
  Diameter should not be changed after Wire Routing
  .

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION
  5 RELEASE 18 GA level.
  Incident Diagnosis
  Wrong computation formula for bundle segment
  Answer and By-pass :
  A new Limited Availability formula has been
  provided. This formula needs two variables to be
  set before launching CATIA on V5R16 and V5R17.
  The new formula will compute the equivalent
  diameter of the segment to have its section area
  equal to the sum of all wire's section area
  mulitplied by a factor equal to 1+
  This functionality will become GA (General
  Availability) in V5R18.
  So for V5R18, a setting will be added and no
  environment varaible will be needed.
