Industrial automation systems and integration -- Product data representation and exchange -- Part 203: Application protocol: Configuration controlled 3D design of mechanical parts and assemblies (modular version) - First Edition; Includes Access to Additional Content
 N TS 10303-203

Annotation

This part of ISO 10303 specifies the integrated resources necessary for the scope and information requirements for the exchange between application systems of configuration-controlled 3D designs of mechanicd parts and assemblies. Configuration in this context only includes data and processes that control the 3D product design data. Exchange is used as a scoping consideration to narrow the scope to only those data which are exchanged as part of the 3D product definition. Organizations exchanging data within the scope of this part of ISO 10303 may have a contractual relationship, the details of which are outside the scope of this part.

NOTE - The application activity model in annex E provides a graphical representation of the processes and information flows which are the basis for the definition of the scope of this part of ISO 10303.

The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 10303:

a) Products that are mechanical parts and assemblies;

b) Product definition data and configuration control data pertaining to the design phase of a product’s development;

c) The change of a design and data related to the documentation of the change process;

d) Five types of shape representations of a part that include wireframe and surface without topology, wireframe geometry with topology, manifold surfaces with topology, faceted boundary representation, and boundary representation;
