A user attempts to import Catia V5 geometry into Workbench using the CADNEXUS Capri associative reader. The CADNEXUS Capri reader is installed correctly, Catia V5 CAD program is installed and licensed, but the reader still fails. The user may also report that geometry can be imported initially, but all subsequent CAD Parameter updates fail. What could be wrong?


The problem may be caused by a Catia V5 Service Pack. To determine if a Service Pack has been applied, the user should open Catia V5, then Help > About to determine if this is the case. The versions affected are Catia V5 R16 and Catia V5 R17.


The Catia Serivce Pack issue is resolved for Catia V5R17 and V5R18 by using:
- 11.0SP1 SV20 Special Version 20
- CADNEXUS/Capri V3.04
- Hotfix 0.1 (or greater)

Please see the Ansys Customer Portal - CAD Special Versions for further information

Alternatively, a workaround would be to remove the Catia Service Pack by reinstalling the base version of Catia V5.


Additional information:

[The following is the output from the "master.exe" test application demonstrating the error failure when a service pack is applied]
