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.
Term: Annotated Model
    
    
Definition: A combination of model, annotation, and attributes that describe a product.
Term: Annotation
    
    
Definition: Visible dimensions, tolerances, notes, text, or symbols.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Annotation Plane
    
    
Definition: A conceptual plane containing annotation.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Assembly Model
    
    
Definition: An annotated model in which the product described is an assembly of two or more items.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Associated Entity
    
    
Definition: The portion of a product definition data to which annotation or attribute(s) pertain.
Term: Associated Group
    
    
Definition: A user-defined set of related digital elements.
Term: Associativity
    
    
Definition: The established relationship between digital elements.
Term: Attribute
    
    
Definition: 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 annotated model.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Classification Code
    
    
Definition: 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.

Term: Classification Code 1
    
    
Definition: Drawing Graphic Sheet With Optional Data Set

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

Term: Classification Code 2
    
    
Definition: 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.

Term: Classification Code 3
    
    
Definition: 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.

Term: Classification Code 4
    
    
Definition: 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.

Term: Classification Code 5
    
    
Definition: 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.

Term: Coordinate System
    
    
Definition: A representation of a system to determine the position of geometric elements in space, e.g., Cartesian coordinate system.
Term: Data
    
    
Definition: Information represented in a formal manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing by human beings or computers.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Derivative
    
    
Definition: Data duplicated or extracted from the original. A copy of a derivative is also a derivative.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Design Model
    
    
Definition: The portion of the data set that contains model geometry and supplemental geometry.
Term: Digital Element
    
    
Definition: Geometric element, feature, group of features, annotation, associated group, or attribute that exists in a data set.
Term: Digital Element Identifier
    
    
Definition: A label or name used to specify a unique digital element.
Term: Geometric Element
    
    
Definition: A discrete entity (e.g., point, line, curve, plane, surface, solid, volume, vector, coordinate system) used in a digital data set to represent or present physical features of the product definition.
Term: Installation Model
    
    
Definition: A model in which the product described is an installation, showing parts or assemblies and a partial or complete representation of the installation site.
Term: Management Data
    
    
Definition: The data required for the release, control, and storage of product definition data as well as other relevant engineering data.
Term: Model
    
    
Definition: The portion of the data set that contains model geometry and supplemental geometry.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Model Geometry
    
    
Definition: Geometric elements used to represent the definition of an item.
Term: Model Value
    
    
Definition: The numerical value derived by interrogating the model that quantifies the form and spatial relationships of the geometry composing a model, or assembly of models, to the precision [number of decimal places] of the computer system.
Term: Product Definition Data
PDD 
    
Definition: Denotes the totality of product definition 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 ->
Term: Product Definition Data Set
PDDS 
    
Definition: 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 ->
Term: Query
    
    
Definition: A means of interrogating a digital element or the relationship between digital elements.
Term: Represented Line Element
    
    
Definition: A supplemental geometry line or curve segment indicating the orientation of a direction dependent tolerance.
Term: Resolved Dimension
    
    
Definition: A model value that is rounded off to the number of decimal places required for the design.
Alternate Definitions ->
Term: Simplified Drawing
    
    
Definition: A drawing with minimal views and dimensional characteristics that relies on the model to provide complete part definition.
Term: Supplemental Geometry
    
    
Definition: Geometric elements included in product definition data to communicate design requirements but not intended to represent an item.
