Scope of ISO STEP AP242 edition 1

(ISO International Standard in 2014)



3D exact geometry

with 3D PMI

representation

• UC: Data exchange with

Built to print manufacturers

• Information characteristics:

3D exact geometry as reference

for manufacturing and 3D metrology

3D PMI as semantic information for reuse by

downstream process (e.g. NC machining)

• U-C: Data exchange / 3D visualization

with Equipment manufacturers


3D exact geometry and 3D external surfaces

definition for clash detection

3D PMI as “frozen information” only for

visualization by human

(no semantic / reuse by downstream process)

3D exact geometry

with 3D PMI

graphic presentation

3D tessellated geometry

with 3D PMI

graphic presentation

Examples of Use cases

• U-C: Data exchange for bids,

or for 3D installation instruction


3D tessellated geometry, with IP protection

/ no possibility of manufacturing

3D PMI as “frozen information” only for

visualization by human

(no reuse by downstream process / applictaion)

Types of information Illustration

PMI: Product Manufacturing Information

AP242 supports the main Use Cases

for exchange of CAD 3D geometry with PMI



• UC: Data exchange with RSPs

or Data exchange for manufacturing of large

assemblies with changes along the time

• Main characteristics:

May require a TDM

Enable a formal procedure for delta change

(assembly and part levels)

• U-C: Data exchange / 3D visualization

with Equipment manufacturers, enabling

incremental / delta changes


Possibility to identify the changes of the 3D

models

Avoid to resend unchanged 3D models

(no reuse by downstream process)

Use cases

• U-C: Data exchange for bids,

for small – medium size equipment suppliers


Easy management (1 sending, 1 file)

Duplication of storage and conversion if limited

changes between 2 sendings

No formal procedure to identify the changes

between 2 sendings

Types of information Illustration

Nested assemblies files

referencing

3D models (files)

1 full assembly file

referencing

3D models (files)

1 monolithic file

containing

a full assembly

and the associated

3D geometry models

AP242 supports the main Use Cases for exchange

of CAD assembly structure with geometry

• European A&D companies have started to use in operation STEP AP242 for 3D DMU exchange and long term archiving,

• The digital twin will need to rely on a consistent set of ISO standards for: - requirements and V&V mngt., - definition, - simulation, - NC machining, etc covering the main A&D technological threads : metallic (sheet metal, machining, forging, etc), additive manufacturing, composite, electrical harness, tubing, etc.

• ASD SSG recommendation: STEP AP 242 is to become the cornerstone standard of the cross-process capabilities for interoperability of core 3D engineering design information under configuration management,

• Next priority for 2017: to set up the Implementer Forum for Requirement, Validation & Verification traceability, based on AP242 / AP239 : Start in 2017 with test rounds for Requirement Management (text based and properties based) in relationship with PDM and 3D MBD

• Coordination of European A&D standardization activities minimize the total cost of usage of interoperable solutions for 3D Model Based Def.

Synthesis: high value for the European A&D industries

to use STEP AP242, as part of a suite of STEP standards

for PLM interoperability
