Concept to Enrichen Lightweight, Neutral Data Formats with CAD-based Feature Technology
Abstract. The need of feature information in CAD-systems is undisputed. In order to accelerate the product development process, the use of features should be considered to its full extent. With neutral, lightweight data formats becoming more popular in terms of re-placing native CAD-data in many follow up processes in the scope of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a consistent use of feature information in such formats must be adapted. By the example of JT, we present a concept to combine neutral, lightweight data formats with a respective XML schema/dataset, enriching the format’s application potentials.
Keywords: features, neutral data formats, JT, Product Lifecycle Management.
