Before Migrating a Mock-Up Solid into 3DEXPERIENCE

This task shows you how to launch the macro before migrating and how this tool makes a Mock-Up Solid validity (on contours) before copying it to 3DEXPERIENCE.

You can get all the specifications of the Solid in 3DEXPERIENCE.

After the Copy / Paste Special CATIA_SPEC of a V3 SolidM in 3DEXPERIENCE, the update fails because the contour of the primitive is not closed. For the migration of a V3 Mock-Up Solid into 3DEXPERIENCE, you first need to migrate it into CATIA V4 by using the /m solm34 function on the model in CATIA V4. This function allows you to convert the model into format V4 and then, create a good contour of the primitive. After this operation, the migration forward 3DEXPERIENCE is successful. Before migrating, to improve resolution (on contours), it is recommended to launch the solm34 macro:
  • Type < /m solm34 > in the text field
  • UPDATE (YES) the solids - in the model
  • Save the model

An automatic compatibility check has occurred on the V3 Solids to be transferred into CATIA V4 and they can be migrated into 3DEXPERIENCE. You obtain a Solid Exact or a Part with all its specifications in 3DEXPERIENCE.

Note: If you do not UPDATE the Solid, you may translate an unstable Solid.
