CMM: Catia hidden volumes/bodies are not migrated to NX

CMM: Catia hidden volumes/bodies are not migrated to NX SYMPTOM/PROBLEM


Environment setup:

Teamcenter 10.1.6 (64bit)

TCIC 10.0.4

NX 10.0.3.5 

CATIA V5 R21

CMM 10.0.3.1.028

Issue description

In a Catia part it is possible to hide entire volume bodies. Same functionality is available in NX. During migration hidden Catia volumes are ignored and will not show up in NX.

In the example below there are two volumes hidden.

 

Figure 1: Catia part with hidden volumes

 

Figure 2: Catia part with shown volumes

In NX the two hidden volumes are not available.

 

Figure 3: NX part without hidden volumes

CMM Migration Status does not indicate that some information from Catia is lost. User does loose information without knowing about. 

 

EXPECTATIONS:

CMM should migrate Catia hidden volumes to NX and hide them. Since this functionality is similar in Catia and NX this should be provided in a similar way.
