This Digital Data Description Requirement defines the content, format, media, and product definition data files preparation requirements for the digital Technical Data Package (TDP) for electronic storage into the designated digital data repositories. The TDP contains the digital product definition data for end items or products. The TDP data files are resulting products from the work task described in the solicitation. a. Product Definition Data denotes the totality of data elements required to completely define a product. Product definition data includes geometry, topology, relationship, tolerances, attributes, and features necessary to completely define a component part or an assembly of parts for the purpose of design, analysis, manufacture, test, simulation, maintenance, and inspection in the support of weapon systems. b. This Digital Data Description Requirement is applicable to acquisitions of military systems, equipment, and components. It is primarily intended for acquiring digital drawings, associated lists, models and other digital data files at the end of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development Phase and during subsequent phases of the Department of Defense (DoD) materiel life cycle. c. In the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Whenever ASME Y14.41 “Digital Product Definition Data Practices” is invoked in the DI-SESS-81000 Data Item Description (DID), any conflicts or duplications between these two documents shall have the requirements herein apply. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained and approved by the contractor, contracting officer, and repository point-of-contact (POC). 2.0 Applicable Documents 2.1 General The documents listed in this section are needed to meet the requirements defined in this specification. While every effort has been made to ensure the completeness of this list, document users are cautioned that they must meet all requirements cited in this specification. 2.2 Specifications, Standards, and Programs The following specifications form a part of this document to the extent specified herein.

Quantities, Distribution, and Software Identification: a. For quantities and distribution, refer to block 14 of the DD Form 1423 that calls out this requirement. b. As the contractor determines that a particular software tool will be used to produce CAD/CAM Product Definition Data (see paragraph 7), a notification shall be sent to the acquiring office identified in block 6 of the DD Form 1423. The notification shall identify the software name, software version, hardware platform, and vendor of the software. The prime contractor shall obtain the same letter from all of their applicable subcontractors/vendors on this contract. 4. Digital Data Delivery (Sample): The contractor shall submit four (4) representative samples of each digital data format to be submitted for verification of procedures and processing into a government data repository at intervals called out in the DD Form 1423. The representative samples shall include data in the appropriate digital formats (native, neutral, PDF, legacy data, Gerber data, design models, etc. where applicable). The representative samples shall also have traceability among one another with the submitted samples. Since the intent of the sample is for Government review of the file types for compatibility and delivery compliance purposes, it is imperative that any and all file types anticipated to be in the final TDP delivery be included as samples for preliminary review. Samples of the metadata spreadsheet, Bill of Materials (BOM), and Summary Report files shall be included. 5. Digital Data Delivery (Sample and Final): Digital data shall be delivered, as updates require for interim delivery and as a final delivery of all updated data, in accordance with the DD Form 1423, which calls out this requirement and as follows: a. Files for both sample and final drawing deliveries shall have multiple drawing sheets per filename delivered for each unique document or drawing number. The sheets shall be in a single sheet per view format such as worksheets in a spreadsheet file or book pages. The filenames for all digital data formats for the entire delivery shall be unique. b. A copy of the translation (such as STEP, IGES, or EDIF) processing or error log file created during the generation of the neutral model files (3D/2D mechanical models and electronic design data) shall also be submitted in digital form. This file shall not be reflected in entries in the Metadata Spreadsheet. c. On digital drawing formats the sheet layout, border, title block, revision block, other contractually imposed format conditions, and other conventions of engineering drawing format including definition and use of explicit scaling factors shall be integral to the digital data file. Filenames for all digital data shall include the appropriate file extensions where practical or appropriate and shall be included in the metadata spreadsheet filename column. Engineering drawings shall be drawn using a CAD system, except for legacy data according to paragraph 6, and shall conform to the DD Form 1423. d. All pertinent entities that comprise the final digital file shall be viewable upon opening of the digital data files. This prevents the user from having to search for layers, to turn on or off in order to view the final drawing and model entities. e. File layer or level conventions as stated in paragraph 5.d., which are used, shall be identified for all data residing in the digital data file. 4 9579776_N.DOC CAGE CODE 98752 f. Metric dimensioning is applicable only when interfacing with existing items that were dimensioned in metric. When metric dimensioning is required, the drawings shall define the interface in metric accompanied by a parenthetical equivalent decimal inch dimension. g. Revisions made to the digital dataset shall accurately and precisely represent the change in dimensions to the geometry of the object or assembly to ensure the share-ability of the represented data. h. Do not import or paste raster images, such as TIF, GIF, JPG, and Bitmap into CAD-generated vector drawings or document formats. The exception to this requirement is when the following conditions are met: The graphics do not need to be edited at a later time (such as a photograph or diagram), a legible view-only file can be delivered containing the graphics (reference paragraph 7.b view-only delivery format requirements), or they represent drawings delivered according to ASME Y14.4M. These exceptions also require prior approval by the acquiring activity. i. Files shall be delivered in separate subdirectories by product definition data type (such as native, neutral, drawings, documents, etc.) to simplify processing.

  • 19 Siemens PLM Software
    Chapter 19 Siemens PLM Software (Unigraphics)1 Author’s note: As discussed below, this organization has had a multitude of different names over the years. Many still refer to it simply as UGS and, although that name is no longer formally used, I have used it throughout this chapter. McDonnell Douglas Automation In order to understand how today’s Siemens PLM Software organization and the Unigraphics software evolved one has to go back to an organization in Saint Louis, Missouri called McAuto (McDonnell Automation Company), a subsidiary of the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. The aircraft industry was one of the first users of computer systems for engineering design and analysis and McDonnell was very proactive in this endeavor starting in the late 1950s. Its first NC production part was manufactured in 1958 and computers were used to help layout aircraft the following year. In 1960 McDonnell decided to utilize this experience and enter the computer services business. Its McAuto subsidiary was established that year with 258 employees and $7 million in computer hardware. Fifteen years later, McAuto had become one of the largest computer services organizations in the world with over 3,500 employees and a computer infrastructure worth over $170 million. It continued to grow for the next decade, reaching over $1 billion in revenue and 14,000 employees by 1985. Its largest single customer during of this period was the military aircraft design group of its own parent company. A significant project during the 1960s and 1970s was the development of an in- house CAD/CAM system to support McDonnell engineering.

  • 21 Miscellaneous Companies
    Chapter 21 Miscellaneous Companies Space restrictions simply do not permit me to go into the depth of detail I would like on every company that participated in the early days of the CAD industry nor cover numerous in-house systems developed at major automobile and aerospace companies. Readers will have to be satisfied with the brief descriptions included in this chapter and even then, I have only been able to cover what I consider to be the companies that had the biggest impact. There are hundreds if not thousands of companies that at one time marketed engineering design software. Some of the companies described in this chapter offered just software while other provided both hardware and software. While many have changed names, I have decided to list them alphabetically based upon the name they are best been known by along with earlier and subsequent name changes. Adra Systems (Matrix One) Adra Systems was founded in Lowell, Massachusetts in July 1983 by William Mason, who had been at Applicon from 1973 to 1983, most recently as vice president of operations, James Stenzel, who had been vice president of engineering at Hastech, Inc., and Peter Stoupas, who had earlier been a regional sales manager at Adage and had also worked for Applicon. Mason became the president and CEO, Stenzel the vice president of product development and Stoupas the vice president of marketing. Between 1983 and 1986, the company raised $11.6 million of venture funding from a number of firms including American Research & Development, the company that also provided the initial funding for Digital Equipment Corporation.

Niemniej jednak stanowią one pasującą do siebie całość i dlatego złożyły się na obecne wydanie. A objętość – cóż, ma w pewnym sensie zrekompensować niemalże dwumiesięczną przerwę w cyklu wydawniczym :). To oczywiście żart... Przerwa przerwą, ale nie dotknęła ona bynajmniej wspomnianych CADblogowych stron, czyli tej całkowicie wirtualnej postaci mojej inicjatywy.

  • Chapter 17 Structural Dynamics Research Corporation
    Chapter 17 Structural Dynamics Research Corporation Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC) was founded in 1967 by Dr. Jason (Jack) Lemon, Albert Peter, Robert Farell, Jim Sherlock and several others. Lemon and his partners had previously held teaching and research positions in the University of Cincinnati’s Mechanical Engineering Department. Initially, this was a mechanical engineering consulting company that over the years made the transition to being a full- fledged mechanical design software company. One of the company’s early consulting assignments was for U. S. Steel and it was so impressed by the work SDRC did that it decided to invest in the company and for a time held about a 40 percent ownership position. The relationship with U.S. Steel was far more than simply a financial investment. SDRC’s engineers worked closely with U. S. Steel’s sales and marketing people to create new markets for steel. One example was the machine tool industry which had traditionally used castings for the base of their machine tools. U.S. Steel wanted to sell these companies plate steel that could be welded into the shapes needed. SDRC’s engineers developed the analytical techniques that proved to these prospective customers that the steel plate bases were an acceptable alternative. This relationship generated numerous leads for SDRC’s seminars on advanced engineering design and analysis technologies. U.S. Steel also had two people on the company’s board of directors during this period. Dr. Russ Henke, who was also a University of Cincinnati graduate, joined SDRC in 1969 as director of computer operations, at a time when the company had about 20 employees.
