CALL INFORMATION
This call needs to be transferred to GTAC US and marked as PR so that the customer data can be made available to the Milford migration lab people working with CMM Pro/E tools.
Please close this call as PR and upload the supplied data to the PR data tool.
SYMPTOM/PROBLEM
Environment setup:
Catia V5 R21
NX 10.0.1.4
CMM 10.0.1.077
We have seen that some of the Catia assembly constrains are not migrated to NX. Since this seems to be a general issue we have created and migrated two sample assemblies that show the missing constraint issue.
Example 1: Assembly called "Bedingungen" (Folder BG_01)
o 22 assembly constraints versus only 18 constraints in NX
o CMM Report does not show errors/issues about missing constraints.

CMM Migration Report

CMM Migration Options

--> see screenshot in provided data archive
Item Details of the migration report does list anything about the assembly constraint migration even though they are expected to be migrated (see migration options Assemby constraints = true)
Example 2: Assembly called "BedingungenBezugselemente" (Folder BG_02)
o 8 assembly constraints versus only 5 constraints in NX
o CMM Report does not show errors/issues about missing constraints.

CMM Migration Options
...\BG_01\Scratch\ BedingungenBezugselemente.opt.xml
--> see screenshot in provided data archive
Item Details of the migration report does list that only 5 out of 8 constraints are not migrated but it does not mention any more details about what (kind of) constraints are missing.
EXPECTATIONS:
Please submit this to the migration lab for further investigations.
CMM is expected to migrate all of the Catia assembly constraints to corresponding NX constraints
HOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBELM:
Download the provided data file from GTAC (File:
o Migrate assemblies with CMM using default cmmOptions in BREP mode
o Inspect the resulting NX assembly and CMM migration report
o CMM migration report shows missing constraints.
SUPPORTING DATA:
o Worddoc with description and screenshots
o Catia data
o Migrated NX data
o CMM Scratch Folders with logfiles
