ASME Y14.41 - Digital Product Definition Data PracticesReference2019
This Standard establishes requirements and references documents applicable to the preparation and revision of digital product definition data, hereafter referred to as data sets. This Standard defines exceptions and additional requirements to existing ASME standards for using digital product definition data set(s) or drawing graphic sheet(s) in digital format, hereafter referred to as drawing graphic sheet(s). When no exception or additional requirements are stated, existing ASME standards shall apply. It is essential that this Standard be used in close conjunction with ASME Y14.24, ASME Y14.34, ASME Y14.35, and ASME Y14.100.
Annotated Model
    
    
A combination of model, annotation, and attributes that describe a product.
Annotation
    
    
Visible dimensions, tolerances, notes, text, or symbols.
Alternate Definitions ->
Annotation Plane
    
    
A conceptual plane containing annotation that either perpendicularly intersects, or is coincident with one or more surfaces of a feature.
Alternate Definitions ->
Assembly Model
    
    
A model in which the product described is an assembly of two or more items.
Alternate Definitions ->
Associated Entity
    
    
The portion of a product definition to which annotation pertains.
Associated Group
    
    
A user-defined set of related digital elements.
Associativity
    
    
The established relationship between digital elements.
Attribute
    
    
A dimension, tolerance, note, text, or symbol required to complete the product definition or feature of the product that is not visible but available upon interrogation of the model.
Alternate Definitions ->
Classification Code
    
    
A designation assigned to product definition data that defines what product definition elements are included within the drawing graphic sheet, data set, or both.

NOTE: A drawing graphic sheet may be in either physical or electronic format.

Classification Code 1
    
    
Drawing Graphic Sheet With Optional Data Set

Identifies that product definition elements are located on the drawing graphic sheet.

Classification Code 2
    
    
Data Set With Model and Drawing Graphics Sheet

Identifies that product definition elements are located on a drawing graphic sheet. A computer is used as a tool to prepare the drawing graphics sheet and model. Product definition elements are located in the digital data and drawing graphic sheet.

Classification Code 3
    
    
Data Set With Model and Simplified Drawing Graphics Sheet

Identifies a model with a simplified drawing graphic sheet used to expedite communication of common part features and to define nongeometric part definitions.

Classification Code 4
    
    
Data Set With Annotated Model and Drawing Graphics Sheet

Identifies that all product definition elements are located in both the digital data and drawing graphic sheet.

Classification Code 5
    
    
Data Set With Annotated Model and No Drawing Graphic Sheet

Identifies that all product definition elements are located in the data set. No drawing graphic sheet exists.

Coordinate System
    
    
A representation of a Cartesian coordinate system in a product definition data set.
Data
    
    
Information represented in a formal manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing by human beings or computers.
Alternate Definitions ->
Derivative
    
    
Data duplicated or extracted from the original. A copy of a derivative is also a derivative.
Alternate Definitions ->
Design Model
    
    
The portion of the data set that contains model geometry and supplemental geometry.
Digital Element
    
    
Geometric element, feature, group of features, annotation, associated group, or attribute that exists in a data set.
Digital Element Identifier
    
    
A label or name used to specify a unique digital element.
Geometric Element
    
    
A graphic entity used in a data set. For example: point, line, plane, surface, solid, coordinate system, or crosshatching.
Installation Model
    
    
A model in which the product described is an installation, showing parts or assemblies and a partial or complete representation of the installation site.
Management Data
    
    
The data required for the release, control, and storage of product definition data as well as other relevant engineering data.
Model
    
    
The portion of the data set that contains model geometry and supplemental geometry.
Alternate Definitions ->
Model Geometry
    
    
Geometric elements in product definition data that represent an item.
Model Value
    
    
The numerical value derived by interrogating the model that quantifies the form and spatial relationships of the geometry composing a design model, or assembly of models, to the precision (number of decimal places) of the computer system.
Product Definition Data
PDD 
    
Denotes the totality of data elements required to completely define a product. Product definition data includes geometry, topology, relationships, tolerances, attributes, and features necessary to completely define a component part or an assembly of parts for the purpose of design, analysis, manufacture, test, and inspection.
Alternate Definitions ->
A collection of one or more data file(s) that discloses, directly or by reference, by means of presentation (e.g., graphic or textual), representation (e.g., semantics or machine readable), or a combination of both, the physical or functional requirements of an item.
Alternate Definitions ->
Query
    
    
A means of interrogating a digital element or the relationship between digital elements.
Represented Line Element
    
    
A supplemental geometry line or curve segment indicating the orientation of a direction dependent tolerance.
Resolved Dimension
    
    
A model value that is rounded off to the number of decimal places required for the design.
Alternate Definitions ->
Simplified Drawing
    
    
A drawing with minimal views and dimensional characteristics that relies on the model to provide complete part definition.
Supplemental Geometry
    
    
Geometric elements included in product definition data to communicate design requirements but not intended to represent a portion of an item.
Alternate Definitions ->
