FME Desktop 2020.0.0.0: The “clipper” tool fails to proceed and gets stuck,

 

I couldn’t figure out why the “clipper” tool fails to proceed and gets stuck,

 

What could be the issue here?

 

The workbench and data are attached

The vast majority of your geometries are Arcs, these are represented as a mathematical equation rather than a series of vertices.

After the geometry validator, add an ArcStroker to convert the arcs into lines. The process then runs in ~6 seconds

It works like a charm.

 

However, I couldn’t figure out what the ArcStroker has fixed!

The ArcStroker inperpolates vertices along the arc convert the true curve into a standard line
