============================

Problem Description:

In Catia we have assemblies that are using "virtual" components that act like a grouping mechanism. With such a component it is possible to group real components and their constraints.

After migration of an assembly with virtual components all the constraints that are part of a virtual component are lost.

In a similar assembly where no grouping with virtual components is used the constraints are all migrated.

In both cases the CMM migration shows green migration status. No indication that in one assembly there are issues with some of the constraints.

(Please see coordinator notepad)

---

o Worddoc with description and screenshots

o Catia data

o Migrated NX data

o CMM Scratch Folders with logfiles

Steps to Duplicate:

o Migrate assemblies with CMM using default cmmOptions (BREP mode for parts)

o Inspect the resulting NX assembly and CMM migration report

o Compare number of assembly constraints in Catia and NX.
