ISO 10303-109:2004

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 109: Integrated application resource: Kinematic and geometric constraints for assembly models

ISO 10303-109:2004 specifies the resource constructs for the representation of detailed geometric relationships between constituents of an assembly model including geometric constraints between constituents. The following are within the scope of ISO 10303-109:2004: association of shape aspect relationship with its representation; association of instanced assembly feature relationship with its representation; representation of detailed geometric information of instanced assembly feature relationship at the geometric_representation_item level in terms of elements such as assembly geometric constraints, kinematics pair and kinematics path; representation of the fixed constituent which plays the anchor role in the assembly model. The following are outside the scope of ISO 10303-109:2004: product structure configurations of assemblies and their constituents; tolerance information.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting
a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 10303 may be the
subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 10303-109 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC184, Industrial automation systems and
integration, Subcommittee SC4, Industrial data.

ISO 10303 is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. The structure of ISO 10303 is
described in ISO 10303-1.
Each part of ISO 10303 is a member of one of the following series: description methods,
implementation methods, conformance testing methodology and framework, integrated generic
resources, integrated application resources, application protocols, abstract test suites, application
interpreted constructs, and application modules. This part is a member the of integrated application
resources series. The integrated generic resources and the integrated application resources specify a
single conceptual product data model.

A complete list of parts of ISO 10303 is available from the Internet:

Introduction
ISO 10303 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation of product
information and for the exchange of product data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism
capable of describing products throughout their life cycle. This mechanism is suitable not only for
neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases, and as a basis
for archiving.
This part of ISO 10303 is a member of the integrated application resources series. Major subdivisions of
this part of ISO 10303 are:
—  Assembly feature relationship schema;

—  Assembly constraint schema.

This part of ISO 10303 provides general representations for geometric relationships between
component parts within an assembly model. The distinction of assembly, subassembly and component
part is context dependent. An assembly in some engineering context could be a component part in
another engineering context. In order to cope with this variety, this part of ISO 10303 uses the term
‘constituent’ to represent a generic concept that implies assembly or subassembly or component part in
case these distinctions are not necessary.

EXAMPLE 1 For some applications, an electric motor is regarded as a single component part of a washing
machine rather than as an assembly in its own right.

Detailed geometric relationships between constituents of an assembly are required in applications such
as parametric representation of geometric constraints between constituents, motion animation of an
assembly product, assembly/disassembly process planning, kinematics analysis and tolerance analysis.

Existing STEP resource parts support limited assembly model representations. They capture
hierarchical relationship, alternative constituent and mutual position and orientation between two
constituents. This part of ISO 10303 is intended to fill in missing information to enable the above
mentioned applications.
