(2003) Enhancing Design-for-Manufacturability Using the ISO 10303 Standard for Electronics Design: AP210. 2003 Aerospace Product Data Exchange (APDE) Workshop, NIST, April 7-9, 2003, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Keywords electronics design, design-for-manufacturability (DFM), ISO 10303, STEP AP210, knowledge-based engineering (KBE), rule-based expert system Abstract This presentation overviews recent work to deploy STEP AP210 (ISO 10303-210) within Rockwell Collins to enhance the printed circuit assembly (PCA) design-for-manufacturability (DFM) process. PCA design models in the form of AP210 are created here by combining information from Zuken Visula electrical CAD models with other product model sources. The resulting AP210 models are then checked against corporate DFM guidelines implemented in a rule-based expert system. This work illustrates the challenges and benefits of addressing common engineering framework gaps, including gathering information from various sources, managing different levels of abstraction, and addressing semantic mismatches.   Documents Presentation: ppt   See Also ...
