Summary: implementation of STEP AP 242 ed1 according to the “V” cycle

Published Dec. 2014

•CAx IF2 test rounds / year

•PDM-IF3 test rounds /year

AFNeT – ProSTEP iViP benchmark #2 (2017)

Strong support of the industries to require STEP AP242 interfaces to PLM vendorsSolutions are available for CAD 3D PMI exchange, and starts to be tested for PDM product structure exchange

• Airbus uses in operation STEP AP242 (AP214) standards for Full 3D LT archivingand for data exchange with equipment suppliers. Other use cases are in preparation.

• Airbus is strongly involved in:o the development of STEP AP242 ed2, o in the related Implementer Forums: CAx-IF, PDM-IFo and in the AFNeT – ProSTEP iViP STEP AP242 benchmarks

• The benefits of investment in the development of AP242 is maximizedo if it is implemented in COTS PLM solutions with the appropriate level of quality,o if there is a large consortium of manufacturers promoting its operational use,

• Recommendation of use of STEP AP242 by the Aerospace and Defence industries:o National level: for example for France, GIFAS “Commission des Technologies de l’Information” (CTI)o European level: ASD SSG recommendation: STEP AP 242 is to become the cornerstone standard of

the cross-process capabilities for interoperability of core 3D engineering design information under configuration management,

o American and European level: A&D PLM Action Group directive statements for product data exchange standard (to be published)
