Interpret CATIA log files

Interpret the import log file

On import of a CATIA file, a translation log file is created in the same directory as the CATIA file. The file name of the log file is the same as that of the CATIA file with the extension.catia2alias added to it.

Log file

The log file contains:

• a translation summary,
• the time of translation,
• conversion statistics, and
• translation time.

If an error or problem occurs while processing an entity, the CATIA entity’s type name, user identifier name, and instance name are printed, followed by the error or warning message.

Extended log file

If you have chosen to have an extended log file produced, then the log file will contain the same information as the log file, with the addition of:

• CATIA entity name to Alias entity name mapping
• CATIA entity type to Alias entity type mapping
