Improving Performance on Windows XP
|
To improve performance, download the
Intel MKL library from the following Intel web site: http://developer.intel.com/software/products/index.htm To install the MKL, you just have to execute the downloaded file. Then, add the
following string to your
PATH environment variable:
- 32-bit:
C:\Program Files\intel\MKL\XX\ia32\bin (where XX
is the level of MKL) The supported MKL versions are 6, 7, 8 and 9.
- 64-bit:
C:\Program Files\intel\MKL\XX\em64t\bin (where XX
is the level of MKL) The supported MKL versions are 8 and 9.
Warning:
- MKL 10.0 and upper versions are not supported.
- You may have to pay Intel to use some libraries.

Multi Processing Capabilities (Windows only)
|
- If the HOME environment variable is defined, it MUST
contain an existing and writable directory path.
Otherwise you will have the following error message:
Error in xcoexe/xcocall, IER = -1
- If the HOME environment variable is not defined, the
default temporary CATIA path is automatically used.

Computed Masses and External Storage Clean-up
|
Once you have cleared computation data using the
External Storage Clean-up command, computed masses are
automatically re-computed in the following cases:
-
Generating images on computed masses
-
Activating images on computed masses
-
Creating inertia sensors
-
Opening a document which contains at least one
activated image on computed masses.
These operations lead to the creation of a CATAnalysisComputations file which needs to be saved. |

Post-processing
|
- Before the Version 5 Release 12:
- for vector type data displayed as SYMBOL
visualization type (for example: Translational displacement vector),
minimum and maximum values (displayed in the color map) were always
computed using the norm of the vector even when you are filtering on
components.
- for eigen values type data displayed as SYMBOL
visualization type (for example: Stress principal tensor symbol),
minimum and maximum values (displayed in the color map) were always
computed over all the components.
These values are now computed according to the selected components.
- Edition of images created before the Version 5 Release 14 GA level:
You can select a user axis (created in the Part Design workbench)
in the Image Edition dialog box (Filters tab > Axis
system option).
If this axis belongs to a .CATPart document contained in a .CATProduct
document, the part positioning is not taken into account and so, the
image results are not valid.Workaround: delete the images
created before the R14 GA level, and re-create them.
