Round17J
B4 Benchmark Model
7
Round17J Benchmark Model Results
The Assembly got shifted during some exchanges
issues are being investigated
Torque Converter Assembly
63 exchanges
8
Round17J B4 Basic Validation
As should be the case, the shifting is captured
by the Centroid Validation Property
Torque Converter Assembly
17 exchanges
9
Round17J B4 Assembly Validation
The shifting issue is not reflected here because
the respective system does not support Assembly

Round18J Schedule
CAx-IF and Review meeting in conjunction with
PROSTEP Workshop STEP Data Exchange
11
Proposed Round18J Scope (2)

• Benchmark Assembly
• Continued testing with as much Validation
  Properties as supported by the systems
• Improved CATIA V4 model
• COPS GVP
• Test according to updatedRecommended Practices
• Use simple model in first testto get syntax
  right
• Production Models
• Models needed!!
• Put in as much ValidationProperties as supported
  bythe systems

TAC Workshop - STEP Support for 3-D
Visualization, New AP?
Purpose - Determine if PDES, Inc. member
companies are interested in developing a STEP
data model for 3D visualization

• Problems
• Many of the 3D visualization formats claim to be
  open, but are vendor proprietary
• Many organizations work with multiple CAD systems
  in the extended supply chain and are faced with
  supporting and reading multiple 3D visualization
  formats in addition to native CAD formats

US Armys Perspective

• DOD is a major user of visualization data for
  logistics applications
• Visualization data must always be under
  configuration management (in sync) with the
  native solid models
• Can we develop a new conformance class for AP203
  that addresses visualization
• Visualization models can be derived (or are a
  subset of data) that is already present in STEP
• It must be possible to map STEP geometry to
  visualization formats and vice-versa
• If U3D is an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 25789) and is
  starting to be implemented by vendors, there must
  be a way to map STEP to U3D and vice-versa

15
Workshop Summary

• While no conclusions were reached, valuable
  insights were gained
• White paper is being drafted to further
  discussion on this topic and gain input from
  member companies
• Developing STEP 3-D Visualization data model will
  be discussed at upcoming ISO SC4 meeting in
  Toulouse (March 25-30, 2006)

Data Integration agreement USA / EU Wilmington
05 / The Hague 06

• Standards
• We will drive toward a single process industry
  RDL, ISO 15926-4 TS (the list of terms and
  definitions) and obtain ISO approval as an
  international standard.
• We will engage in projects to prioritize,
  correct, and enhance the evergreen RDL.
• We will participate in projects to deliver a
  common methodology for defining and implementing
  product models and data exchange using ISO
  15926-4 (drawing from AEX, XMpLant, ISO 15926-7,
  and others).
• We will participate in projects to deliver a
  priority set of product models (structured data
  that describes objects, e.g. compressor).
• We will provide guidance to our industry so that
  all stakeholders understand these recommendations
  and their effective deployment.
