A ProfilePartGeneration_AE does not have a related plate system.

Severity

Crucial.

Detailed Description

A profile part generation active entity (AE) does not have a related plate system.

There are two relationships between the stiffener part and the plate system information.

  • The PlateSubSystems_OPER relationship to Plate Parts is used to track when the thickness of any stiffened plate parts has changed so that the profile position can be re-evaluated.

  • The StiffenedPlateGeometry_OPER relationship to the plate system geometries is used (after making the planning split) to track when the outlines of the stiffened parts have changed so that the parts cross can be re-evaluated.

Both of these relationships are important for keeping the profile part in the correct location as the plate model is changed. In other words, these relationships are required to make sure a stiffener part location responds properly when the thickness of the stiffened parts is changed. 

This error has a defined automatic action, which is to recompute the affected stiffener part. This will re-create the correct relationships and update the position of the stiffener to account for plate thickness.

This message only applies to stiffeners. It should not appear for a beam.

Possible Causes

This problem could be an indication that part of the migration from Version 6.1 to Version 7 was not performed or was unsuccessful. Version 7 introduced the new relationship StiffenedPlateGeometry_OPER and changed the type of object connected through PlateSubSystems_OPER.

There are no other known causes for this problem.

Possible Impacts

The primary impact of this problem is that the stiffener may not respond correctly if the thickness of the stiffened plate is changed and the stiffener is on the thickness side of the plate.

What You Should Do

  1. Ask your database administrator to back up the model.

  2. In the software, click Tools > Custom Commands, and run the Clean Database custom command.

  3. Check the box beside the profile entries to be fixed.

  4. Click Clean Now.

    SHARED Tip Alternatively, the problem can be fixed by performing a BORecompute on the affected stiffener system, including all its children. To do this, select the root stiffener system from the Workspace Explorer, right-click and choose Select Nested before running BORecompute. Either action fixes both the relationships and the position of the stiffener part.

  5. Re-run the Check Database Integrity custom command and the DBIntegrity report.

  6. If the object is still posted, contact Smart 3D Support.
