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.
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result |
|---|---|---|
| Flattening Parameters | Flattening Parameters | Fully Imported |
| FTA Dimension | FTA Dimension | Fully Imported Not converted as an Electrical dimension. If the design is not modified, the FTA Dimension will remain correct, but if the design is changed, the FTA Dimension will not be updated accordingly. |
| Electrical Links between two Multi-branchable Parts | Electrical Links between two Multi-branchable Parts | Fully Imported You may need to launch the Synchronize command to reconnect the flatten link in V5 and in V6. |
| Green Line | Green Line | Fully Imported |
| 3D Flatten without Scale Segment | ||
| 3D Flatten data: The link between 3D design harness and 3D flattening harness is OK. | The flattening link is OK. | Fully Imported |
| 3D flatten data: The link between 3D design harness and 3D flattening harness is KO. | The flatten link is not set. You may need to launch the Synchronize command to reconnect the flatten link in V5 and in V6. |

Considerations
You should take the following considerations into account:
- Managing Flattening Links
- When you import a product via DBDI, the 3D design and the 3D flattened data open in 3DEXPERIENCE.
-
The contextual design between segment and other electrical components (devices, supports, mechanical parts) is removed and replaced by a green line that keeps the link between elements. But the contextual design between the segment and these elements is deleted. The segment is a master element and it is not impacted by other elements.
- The contextual design between segment and support is replaced by a green line.
- If there are multiple segments in one support, the green line is created.
- The contextual design between segment and devices is replaced by a green line. If there is no contextual design between segment and devices but an electrical link, a green line is created on between connection points and segment ends.
- The green line for Loop is kept.
- The branch point is migrated to a new data model.
- Import a product using DBDI. As a result, the 3D design and the 3D flattened data open in 3DEXPERIENCE.
- To check if all the flattened data is retrieved in 3DEXPERIENCE, launch Synchronize
with the
activated option: Simulate. You get a synchronize
report. Note: During the extraction of data to generate a flattened view, a flattening link is created between each component (flattened and design) to allow a synchronization of the flattened harness to support the design modification process and propagate the harness design modification onto the flattened harness.
