Inertia Database Design Import

Database Design Import (DBDI) enables the migration of CATIA V5 data stored in a legacy database into 3DEXPERIENCE.

This topic specifies the import correspondences between V5 data types and 3DEXPERIENCE content types, and the import result. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

This page discusses:

Common Import Behavior

This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.

The following table is dedicated for V5 Part containing inertia measure data.

Important:
  • Inertia features that belongs to a V5 Product are not persistent and are not saved in a CATProduct.

    Therefore they cannot be imported.

  • Inertia features that belongs to a V5 Part are persistent and are saved in a CATPart.

    Resulting inertia measures are updated after the import, furthermore the data model is not the same in 3DEXPERIENCE:

    • The default density value is differently managed.
    • For inertia measure linked with a material, the material may have a different density in 3DEXPERIENCE.
    • Only imported bodies in Show space are accounted for imported measures and these measures are editable in 3DEXPERIENCE.

      If all the imported part bodies are in No Show space, inertia measures are imported but not editable.

    • New bodies added to the resulting representation after the import are not accounted for imported measures.
    • Most of 3DEXPERIENCE measures are computed in exact mode.
    • 3DEXPERIENCE measures take into account thread and tap volumes.

V5 Data Type 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Import Result
Inertia volume that belongs to a part Inertia volume Partially Imported

Imported in the same Geometrical Set, under the representation corresponding to the part.

Only the following parameters are imported with an Inertia Volume:

  • Area
  • Volume
  • Mass
  • Gx
  • Gy
  • Gz
  • IoxG
  • IoyG
  • IozG
  • IxyG
  • IxzG
  • IyzG
