• Context

− Product Life Cycle Systems Life Cycle

− Systems Engineering MBSE

− Increasing importance of electronics and electrical simulation, as part of mechatronics

: SysML extension to support Physical Interaction and Signal Flow Simulation specification

• The answer:

− To extend the modelling framework

of ISO 10303 in order to support;

- new industrial needs and

- evolutions of Information Technologies : web services (e.g. linked data), analytics, visualization, etc

STEP Extended Architecture: upward compatibility with STEP legacy

+ support of new industry requirements

• Org. of a ISO /TC 184/SC 4 Project Planning Committee (PPC) confcal on the 27 Sept.

Decision to prepare a 2nd DIS ballot:

− Answering to all technical comments of the DIS ballot

− Preparation of a 2d ballot for the standing docs of the “STEP Extended Architecture”

Strong effort of the AP242 ed2 project team to answer to all DIS ballot comments

CAE • Structural analysis for metallic and composite parts,

for linear, static and dynamic simulation

• Computational Fluidic Dynamic

• Material properties

STEP AP242 CAD information model is integrated in STEP AP209, allowing

a close associativity between CAD exact model, CAD simplified shape and FE Mesh models

LOTAR and the link to ISO STEP AP242

25

The LOTAR standards rely mainly on ISO 10303 product data exchange standard, which includes AP242


ISO 10303 AP242: the recognized Aerospace & Defense standard

for 3D Model Based Definition interoperability

AP242 is the unique ISO standard

which:

• covers the main MBD Digital

Technological Processes

• Is integrated with:

- STEP AP209,

for Multi Disciplinary simulation

- STEP AP238 – STEP-NC,

for 3D NC Machining:

• includes PDM – CM interoperability

capabilities, harmonized with AP239

for through life cycle support


Ongoing activities of ISO /TC 171 /SC 2 and ISO /TC 184 /SC 4

for 3D PDF embedding STEP AP242 for 3D visualization

Synthesis: AP242, as the cornerstone standard of the A&D industries

for 3D Model Based Design and PDM – CM interoperability

• European A&D companies have started to use STEP AP242 in operation for 3D DMU exchange and 3D MBD long term archiving (including PMI)

• Certification of new aircrafts based on semantic 3D MBD and the introduction of the digital twins require a consistent set of ISO standards to support this digital thread:

• specification, definition, simulation, manufacturing, quality control, etc

• ISO 10303 AP 242 is the cornerstone standard of for interoperability of core 3D engineering design models

• Next priorities for 2019:

• To create of the CAx IF “User Groups” and of the Electrical Implementer Forum

• To consolidate the PDM IF activities with configuration management test cases

• To finalize AP242 e2 in March. 2019, including the harmonization with AP239 e3

• To prepare the launch of AP242 e3 in 2019 The coordination of the European A&D standardization activities minimize

the total cost of usage of COTS solutions for 3D MB Definition interoperability
