Paperback. Principal authors: U. Kroszynski, B. Palstr9Sm 1.1 The evolution of concepts and specifications for CAD data exchange The CAD/CAM community has witnessed, during the last decade, the appearance of several specifications as well as proposals for standards which either attempt to cover wider areas or to be more reliable and stable than the others. With the rapid evolution of both hardware and software, the capabilities offered by CAD systems and CAD based application systems are far more advanced than they were only ten years ago, even when they are now based on micro-computers or personal comput ers. The situation with standards, however, is not and cannot be so. In order to be reliable and accepted by a wide community of both vendors and users, a standard has to be sta ble. This implies a life span of at least a decade. This also implies that the standard has to be general and flexible enough to accommodate present as well as expected future developments. 1.1.1 IGES The initial development of concepts for CAD data exchange is strongly influenced by the US Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing (ICAM) programme, that dealt with the development of methods for data exchange. In September 1979, a subgroup was estab lished with participation of the National Bureau of Standards, the General Electric Com pany, and the Boeing Company. The result of this effort was the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) that was published as a NBS report [61] in 1980.

Synopsis

This is one out of a series of books which present the result of ESPRIT project 322 "CAD Interfaces (CAD*I)". This volume concentrates on the work done on the transfer of CAD models, especially so-called solid models. The book gives an introduction to the state of the art prior to the CAD*I project, describes the approach taken by the project, and presents the results obtained. Information is also given on the interrelationship with the international standardization activities in this field. The book is primarily intended for readers who are interested in - the problems encountered in the transfer of solid models, - the various techniques for implementing processors for this purpose, - the specific implementations of interface processors for several CAD systems, - the state of the art reached after completion of the project, and - the relationship between the CAD*I project and the development of the international standard for external representation of product definition data STEP.
