Abstract

Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) is an international standard designed to provide a complete, unambiguous, computer-readable definition of the physical and functional characteristics of a product throughout its life-cycle. In this paper, a STEP-based product modeling system for concurrent stamped part and die development is presented. First, an architecture of this system is established using a three-layer architecture (application, logical and physical layers) recommended by STEP, and a new concept - Die & Product Integrated Information Model (DPIIM) is proposed to fully support the complete product data representation in concurrent stamped part and die design process. Then, six EXPRESS-defined schemas are constructed to represent DPIIM using the Integrated Resources of STEP, which can support the concurrent stamped part and die development with a complete product information representation and a standard data format. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
