scope:

This PAS is intended to serve as a checklist and guideline for the evaluation of CAx-software for applications within the electromechanical field by users in industry. This PAS provides a set of data element types required in the context of electromechanical applications, especially in the context of electrical applications and their mechanical representations in the real or virtual three-dimensional world. Where possible, existing internationally standardized data element types have been taken from the existing data element repository as listed in the data base of IEC 61360 available under the URL http://std.iec.ch/iec61360 Available data element types are indicated by their identity number, followed by its name and the definition as given in the data base at the time of publication of this document. The application of standardized data element types supports the automatization of design processes during the development of products, systems and plants.
