Introduction

AP242 Ed4 is the extension of AP242 Ed3:

 completed with:

  • specific enhancements in the following domains:
    • 3D Hybrid geometry,
    • 3D assembly constraints,
    • 3D PMI,
    • 3D Composite Design,
    • Electrical Wiring Harness;
  • and new extention in the following domains:
    • Visual Issue Management,
    • 3D Bouding Boxes and LOD.

The AP242 ed4 project aims at defining and using a single integrated ISO standard covering product information interoperability capabilities for: Product Data Management, 3D model-based design with PMI (e.g, Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances), Mechanical, Composite, and Electrical harness design.

This standard will be consistent with the ISO 10303 STEP modular Application Protocols:
  • AP209 “Multi-Disciplinary Analysis and design”,
  • AP210 “Electronic assembly, interconnect, and packaging design”,
  • AP233 “Systems Engineering”,
  • AP238 “Application interpreted model for computer numeric controllers",
  • AP239 “Product Life-Cycle Support”.
  • AP243 "Modelling and Simulation information in a collaborative Systems Engineering Context"

Together they will be the foundation for specifications, engineering simulation and 3D model-based design information interoperability of aerospace, automotive and other transportation industries. This should extend the use of STEP by the main manufacturing industries and the support by PLM software suppliers and integrators.
