HD91214: CATIA V5 TUBING INCORRECT MINTANGENTLENGTH SELECTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario:
  1. Launch the Tubing workbench of CATIA V5 R19 SP3
  2. Click on Route a Run
      - The run command displays the Turn Rules depending upon
  the current line ID value.
  3. Select the appropriate row in the table
  Result:
  When the user picks up one of the rows in the Turn rules
  table, the bending rules tables will be searched for the
  corresponding Minimum Tangent Length.
  Concern:
  As per current implementation the code picks up the first
  match from the bending rule table.
  Expected Result:
  A list of matching rows from the bending rule table should be
  displayed so that the user can pick the suitable result.
  

Local fix

• empty

Problem conclusion

• NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R19 SP7.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20 SP2.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  When the user picks up one of the rows in the Turn rules
  dialog during run routing, the bending rules table will be
  searched for selected Nominal Size and Bend Radius
  combination and the corresponding Minimum Tangent Length is
  registered for further run routing. As per current
  implementation the code picks up the first match from the
  bending rule table. Hence user is not able to set different
  MinTangent Length even if entries are made in Bending rule
  text file.
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  With this enhancement, the bending rule panel is displayed to
  the user if there are multiple entries in Bending rule text
  file for selected combination of Nominal Size and Bend
  radius. The user can interactively select a row from the
  panel to set the min tangent length.
  Note:
  This enhancement is delivered under a flag.
  The user needs to set this environment flag equal to 1 in
  order to display the bending rule table.
