AP 214e2 -- Automotive Design

Sample Programs

Creates a product with all of the STEP backbone entities needed to get started with geometry.

Constructs an assembly between two products, relating the configuration management as well as the geometry.

Print Bill-of-Materials report. Find all engineering assemblies in a STEP file and print their assembly structure as an indented list.

TOLERANCE

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

Other Files

Sample Data Files: Sample AP214 files shipped with ST-Developer
automotive_design.ws: An example working set with recommended complex instance combinations (AND/ORs). Use this if you generate your own C++ classes with the EXPRESS compiler.
automotive_design.nam: Short name abbreviations already installed in ST-Runtime.

Overview
