Description / Abstract:
Purpose
Engineering drawings and related documents provide effective
man-to-man communication among interrelated engineering and
manufacturing disciplines. Application of computer aids to those
disciplines has engendered an additional requirement for direct
communication of digital data (e.g., representing geometry) among
the interrelated computer programs. Anticipating eventual extension
of this requirement to computer programs of interfacing
organizations (e.g., contractor-subcontractor), development of a
proposed standard for digital representation of physical object
shapes was undertaken. The purpose of this informational report is
to present concepts formulated as part of that development
effort,
