Hi All,

I have an assembly model which when regenerated shows this warning " Duplicate rep name found."

Anyone know what this is and how do I find where in the model ththis duplicate is happening.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

Paul,

The following thread was about a model being reference in two generics. Maybe this will help with duplicate rep names:

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your reply. I look at that thread, and it doesnt directly relate however, I have found what the "duplicate rep name" refers to in the warning.

Duplicate rep name = instance name ( family table members)

I had a model of spring ( spring1.prt) with 3 FT members (free-length, pre-load, max-load).

I copied this spring and gave it a new name ( spring2.prt) this part file has the same 3 named FT members.

Changing the name of spring2 ft members (free-length2, pre-load2, max-load2). on regen does not display the warning.

This scenario sucks as I use family table members a lot, and having to create unique names for ft members is going to be a challenge. Think of ft members for screws, nuts , washers etc. ( M4x10 for example, is used alot as a description for lots of machine screw types and bolts.)

I suppose I am lucky and I dont interact with windchill.

Hope this helps bit of info helps others.

Paul.
