ISO 10303-108:2005 Industrial automation systems and integration - Product data representation and exchange - Part 108: Integrated application resource: Parameterization and constraints for explicit geometric product models
This part of ISO 10303 specifies the resource constructs for the representation of model parameters
and constraints, together with the mechanisms necessary for associating them with geometric or other
elements of transferred models. The use of these capabilities potentially allows certain aspects of the
behaviour of a model in its originating system to be conveyed together with the basic model itself. The
intention in transferring this additional information is to provide the receiving system with data that will
enable it to reconstruct corresponding behavioural characteristics in the model following the transfer.
Ideally, this will enable the model to be edited in the receiving system just as as though it had been
created there. That would not be possible without the exchange of what is known as design intent
information. This part of ISO 10303 enables the capture and transfer of an important aspect of design
intent.
Clause 4 defines a means for the association of model parameters with individual quantities in the model,
to provide for the editing of dimensional values and other variable attributes. Clause 5 provides for the
modelling of constraint relationships in terms of mathematical relationships among model parameters.
Such constraints are not restricted to the modelling of product shape; they are designed to be applicable
in any situation where it may be useful to capture and transfer mathematically specified relationships.
Clause 5 also defines a class of descriptive (non-mathematical) constraints. Clause 6 defines avariational
representation, containing a model together with all the associated parameters and constraints that potentially
facilitate its effective editing following a transfer. Clause 7 defines specialized representations for a
set of explicit geometric constraints applicable specifically to elements of shape models of the boundary
representation and closely related types. These are subtypes of the descriptive constraints specified in
clause 5. Finally, clause 8 provides representations for two-dimensional sketches, which form the basis
of many shape construction methods in CAD modelling. Sketches are an important application area for
the parameterization and constraint information defined in earlier clauses. The capabilities provided in
this schema may also be used as a basis for the representation of parameterized drawings.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 10303:
— Parameterization of models through the association of variables with quantities occurring in them;
— Constraints defining mathematical relationships between parameters;
— Constraints on models expressed as relationships between their constituent elements or attributes of
those elements;
— Association of parameters and constraints with models at therepresentation level, to create variational
models of products, plans, processes or organizations;
