ASME Y14.41: Digital Product Definition

ASME Y14.41: Digital Product Definition

ASME Y14.41: Digital Product Definition

(OP)
Hello,

Can anyone refer me to any available sources of information pertaining to the practice and application of the new ASME Y14.41 standards?

To quote ASME news:
"ASME Y14.41 establishes requirements and references documents applicable to the preparation and revision of digital product definition data, or data sets. This standard defines the exceptions and additional requirements to existing ASME standards for using product definition data sets or drawings in 3-D digital format."

This new standards was brought to my attention and we are interested in its application. The point was raised that in certain cases, a 3D model with dynamic annotation could eventually replace 2D drawings. This would save us a great deal of time in the design process, because a great amount of time is spent creating detail drawings from Pro/Engineer models, and ambiguities still remain.

We would like to explore this standard by seeing if anyone has applied it, and what its potential pluses and minuses are.

Thanks,

Mark

This standard requires a lot of work by the CAD vendors to make it work. Ideas, from what I have heard, is the closest to supporting the standard.

Pro/E is suppossed to start supportting portions of it with WF3, I think.

Mark/Ben,

PTC's Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 supports this standard  as does Dassault.
