scope:

ISO 10303-242:2014 specifies the application protocol for Managed model based 3d engineering.

The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-242:2014:

• products of automotive, aerospace and other mechanical manufacturers and of their suppliers, including parts, assemblies of parts, tools, assemblies of tools, and raw materials;
• engineering and product data for the purpose of long-term archiving and retrieval;
• product data management
• product definition data and configuration control data for managing large numbers of variants of products during the design phase;
• data describing the changes that have occurred during the design phase, including tracking of the versions of a product and of the data related to the documentation of the change process;
• identification of standard parts, based on international, national, or industrial standards;
• release and approval data for product data;
• data that identify the supplier of a product and related contract information;
• properties of parts or of tools;
• references to product documentation represented in a format other than those specified by ISO 10303;
• product manufacturing information, covering the design and manufacturing planning phase;
• identification of physically realized parts or of tools, including assembly of physically realized products and recording of test results.
• process planning
• process plan information describing the relationships between parts and the tools used to manufacture them and to manage the relationships between intermediate stages of part or tool development.
• mechanical design
• different types of geometry models, including:
• 2D- and 3D-wireframe geometry model;
• geometrically bounded surface geometry model;
• topologically bounded surface geometry model;
• faceted-boundary geometry model;
• boundary geometry model;
• compound shape geometry model;
• constructive solid geometry model;
• parametric and constrained geometry model;
• 2D-sketch model;
• 3D tessellated geometry model.
• representation of the shape of parts or tools that is a combination of two or more of different types of geometry models;
• data that pertains to the presentation of the shape of the product;
• representation of portions of the shape of a part or a tool by manufacturing features;
• data defining surface conditions;
• dimensional and geometrical tolerance data;
• quality criteria and inspection results of given three dimensional product shape data;
• product documentation as annotated 3D models and as drawings.
• kinematics
• simulation data for the description of kinematic structures and motion.
• composite design
• definition of composite structural parts;
• the association of the constituents of composite and metallic parts with the constituent shape model;
• the depiction of composite laminate tables describing the material, stacking sequence and ply orientation;
• constituents of the composite or a portion of the composite with a defined shape;
• the identification of material specifications from internal and external sources and their properties for a specific operating environment.
