AP 203 Edition 2 -- Configuration Controlled Design

Sample Programs

Create a product with the common STEP structure needed to get started with geometry.

Create a product with all configuration management data required for the original AP-203 Conformance Class One.

Construct an assembly relation between two products, relating the product structure and geometry.

NEW in v15! Analyze the products, shapes, and relations in a file to identify the assembly structure. Walk assembly and print key objects.

TOLERANCE

Read an existing data file with geometry for a block and hole, then apply dimensions, datums, and tolerances to the faces.

Overview

EXPRESS source and associated files for STEP Part 203 Edition 2: Application Protocol for Configuration controlled 3D design of mechanical parts and assemblies. The original AP203 was restructured as a modular document and published as the technical specification ISO/TS 10303-203:2005(E). After further rework, this TS was replaced by a international standard published in 2011 as ISO 10303-210:2011(E).
