Data<br \/>\ncollisions may occur if a user or non-ModelCenter process interacts with CATIA while ModelCenter is<br \/>\nattempting to access CATIA. Data collisions may occur if a user or non-ModelCenter process interacts<br \/>\nwith SolidWorks while ModelCenter is attempting to access SolidWorks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Issue: <\/strong>CATIA or SolidWorks may experience data collisions if a user or non-ModelCenter process<br \/>\ninteracts with either product while ModelCenter is accessing the same program. ModelCenter 12.0<br \/>\nand newer provide a locking mechanism to serialize ModelCenter&#8217;s interactions with CATIA and<br \/>\nSolidWorks to prevent data collisions. However, it is possible that a user or non-ModelCenter process<br \/>\ncould interact with either CATIA or SolidWorks while the same program is being accessed by<br \/>\nModelCenter and result in data collisions. For example, launching CATIA or SolidWorks from the Start<br \/>\nmenu while ModelCenter is using the same program could invalidate results without the user&#8217;s<br \/>\nknowledge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact: <\/strong>Data collisions may occur if a user or non-ModelCenter process interacts with CATIA while<br \/>\nModelCenter is attempting to access CATIA.
