Abstract This status report provides a current overview of the work that is progressing toward the development of an international Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP). STEP has the potential for revolutionizing the exchange of product definition data. The current state of the art in product data exchange requires knowledge of both the sending and receiving system in order to expect a reliable exchange to occur. The basic premise that STEP is built upon is to support the exchange and sharing of product model data without the need to know the sending or receiving system. The first release of STEP as a Draft International Standard will occur in 1992. The capability of that release will provide a strong basis for system designers and integrators to develop STEP compliant products that can support a significant portion of the product definition data that is exchanged today between and within businesses.

Step Standard

This paper presents the purpose, approach, goals and progress of the tasks that make up the standard for a digital Ship Product Model. The Navy/Industry Digital Data Exchange Standards Committee (NIDDESC) Standards will be a part of the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) International Standard. The STEP standard has a layered architecture in which basic core definitions are used by many industry and product specific standards such as the NIDDESC Standards.

Application Protocols

Effective data exchange of product model data is essential for future competition in the global marketplace. Many efforts have been undertaken in recent years to establish a transfer mechanism for product model data in the Shipbuilding industry. These include the development of the STEP Standard, creation of the NIDDESC Application Protocols, and efforts of the European NEUTRABAS and MARITIME Projects. The ARPA/MARITECH Project for "Development of STEP Ship Product Model Database and Translators for Data Exchange Between Shipyards" provides a unique opportunity to attempt to implement the still developing Standards for Product Model Exchange and to enable their use for data exchange between the major US Shipyards. The project will create and populate a prototype product model database, develop translators for exchange of product model data between Shipyards, and facilitate adoption of the Shipbuilding Application Protocols as part of the emerging International Standard (STEP). These ambitious goals are being undertaken by a consortium of US Shipbuilders, their CAD vendors, and STEP experts. The participants will help develop a product model data exchange capability for the entire Shipbuilding industry, while they enhance their own ability to compete in the global marketplace.

Step Standard

The first Technical Note in this series [1] introduced the international standard ISO 10303, informally known as STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data). Subsequent Technical Notes discussed various issues faced by users of STEP and how the ISO TC184/SC4 committee is addressing these issues. This paper presents the current move to modularize the STEP application protocol architecture. This paper describes the initial STEP architecture, requirements for improvements to the architecture, features of the new modular architecture, status and issues.
