About Report and Error Files

Report and error files give you information about the import or export, and help you solve problems.
Always check the report and error files after a conversion: Some problems may have occurred without been visually highlighted.

At Import

Two files are generated at the end of import. These files are created in a location referenced by the USERPROFILE variable on Windows. Its default value is Profiles\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Dassault Systemes\CATReport on Windows (user being you logon id).

Report File

Its name is name_of_file.rpt. It provides references about the quality of the transfer.

Example:

E:\tmp\SettingsCatia\Authoring\CATReport\MyFile.rpt
 
Input: \\MyFolder\MyFile.sat

When invalidities are detected in the input geometry, all the invalid faces (and all the elements of their geometry) are put in a specific Geometrical Set named invalid Input Geometry. These faces are shown as invalid in the report file.

Error File

Its name is name_of_file.err. It lists the errors that occurred during the transfer.

Example:

E:\tmp\SettingsCatia\Authoring\CATReport\MyFile.err
Input: \\MyFolder\MyFile.sat
 
============================================
*** = Processing new independent element
  * = Intermediate processing
!!  = Independent element K.O.
!   = Intermediate error
