ENOVIA V6-R2013xE.HF 32 Compatibility with Windows 11?

Hello All, We are currently using ENOVIA V6-R2013xE.HF32 and have recently observed significant slowness when running it on Windows 11 systems. Interestingly, the same version runs perfectly fine on Windows 10, so we suspect the issue might be related to Windows 11 compatibility. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there any official information regarding compatibility or any recommended settings/fixes for Windows 11? Appreciate your support and suggestions. Best Regards,

Introduction If we read some articles, we can see that 4 words are used when talking about pipe branch weld : Stub-On, Set-On, Stub-In, Set-In In reality it seems that Stub-In = Set-In & Stub-On = Set-On Set-On seems to be the name used by Isogen software to represent Stub-On case In addition, these branch weld can be Reinforced with an additional plate Pipe branch - Branch weld case For Pipe branch weld, in the Branch rule table we can set 3 possible values for Branch Case : STUB-IN,

3D Piping - Slope - (to be moved in upper section)

ContextGeneralities The piping slope is the change in elevation with respect to its flat horizontal position. The piping slope is provided in various piping systems mainly due to free-draining requirements. A slope in the pipe helps the liquid to flow easily in the downward direction. So, it helps in avoiding the accumulation of liquid inside the piping system. This in turn helps the system to eliminate two-phase slug flow problems.

Video series "Top differentiators of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Engineering | #5: Increase accuracy with Model-Based Definition

Engineers spend 31% of their design time on drawings. Imagine if they spent that time on innovation and engineering instead. Model-Based Definition (MBD) achieves this by making the 3D model the master. Why 3D? Printed 2D drawings aren’t linked to the model so that they won’t reflect late changes. Outdated manufacturing information leads to money-wasting rework and scrap. Model-Based Definition represents a single source of truth and 3D is also more intuitive. Generative Tolerancing

Assign parameter range to an UDF-parameter using EKL?

Hello, I have made an EKL-script capable instantiating UDF-planes evenly distributed along a chosen line. The instantiated UDFs have an offset parameter (length). Is it possible to assign each UDF-plane an upper and lower range of this offset length using EKL? I have tried Inferior range and Superior range but can´t get it to work... Any help is greatly appreciated!

CATIA V5 Exporting Surface Area Using VBA

Hi all I have a macro that I have created, that exports to a spreadsheet a list of every part in a product, showing the part number, description, material, volume, CoG and surface area. I'm getting the volume (which isn't available to export from the inertia data it seems) by using the mass and density of each part, both of which are accessible as oInertia.mass and oInertia.density. The resultant output is accurate, and returns the same value as if I manually measure the inertia in an
