1 Requirements on Computer Based Product Models

1.1 Scope
This document describes requirements on Computer Based Product Models stored in the CATIA representation format.
1.2 General requirements

All Parts shall be defined by a Computer Based Product Model, both as a Digital Shape Model and a Computer Based Drawing. The Digital Shape Model shall at least be a Packaging model (category code PACK, final stage). DSM Basis applies to all development work where the Computer Based Drawing can not fully describe the 3D shape of the part and where the use of DSM Basis is profitable. The DSM Basis shall be used as the basis in prototyping and different manufacturing stages.
1.3 Definitions
Computer-based product model (CBPM) All types of digital shape models, computer-based drawings, technotes etc. that define and describe geometry and other engineering features of a Part. NOTE! The definition is only valid within the mechanical field.
req_cbpm.fm

Page 6(72) Date: 02-01-14 Issue: 07

CAD STANDARDS
Digital shape model (DSM) a geometric representation of a part using mathematical formulas to describe form features and topology, store in a reference location. Computer Based Drawing a drawing stored as digital data on a format suitable for editing in a CAD system. NOTE! This means that the logical drafting elements may be edited on an intelligent level.
Digital shape model basis (DSM Basis) a digital shape model that constitutes the complete geometric definition of a finished part (nominal shape). NOTE! In the Part Version Document for the Part shall the DSM basis be referred as a primary document.
Packaging Model is a digital shape model used for analysis like packaging and other space studies, or simulation of motions. NOTE! A packaging model can not constitute the legal basis for manufacturing of the Part and may only be referred as a supplementary document in the Part Version Document for the part.
Part A unit which in all important respects, apart from quantity, is defined and identifiable. NOTE! In design terminology, a Part is a nominal representation and does not represent one individual tangible object that has a serial number or can be put on a scale for weighing. A Part represents all tangible objects manufactured according to the associated Product Model. A Component is a commercial interpretation of a deliverable Part.

Issue: 07 Date: 02-01-14 Page 7(74)
Part version A specific version of a part that has been developed physically/functionally compared to the preceding. Part version document (PVD) Document that in an unambiguous way identifies a certain version of a part by linking all requisite product-defining documents ( primary documents) with their respective revision symbols to the change level. When needed, reference may also be given on the part version document to non-defining product documents
1.4 CAD tools

The CAD tools used for editing of a Computer Based Product Model within Volvo Car Corporation are: Digital Shape Models CATIA
Computer Based Drawings CATIA CABZON schematics,to be replaced by CATIA during a transition period.

2 DSM Basis models

2.1 Summary
Here are the most important requirements which apply to DSM basis models, final stage. Structure/name standard Start model obtained from STANDARD file. Layer standard to be followed. COMMENT page and the drawing layout are to be filled in. Name standard to be followed. The complete model should be described. This also applies to symmetrical parts.
Contents There should not be any breaks, gaps or overlapping between surfaces. Surfaces and boundary curves should keep the default degree which CATIA creates. All geometry defining the base model should be covered with faces or defined as a solid. Surfaces are only used to support the faces. Offset surfaces (at milling radius distance) should neither twist nor loop. In single side defined models the surface normal should be directed into the material of the finished component (to state the material side).
Distinctiveness/completeness The DSM Basis model is to be perfectly distinct. The model should be complete and suitable for the intended purpose. The model (solid or surface model with boundary curves) and the drawing should match perfectly.

2.2 Start model in CATIA

See document: Start Model, Name- and Layer standards for product models in CATIA
2.3 Name standard

See document: Start Model, Name- and Layer standards for product models in CATIA
2.4 CAD-technical requirements

To improve the quality of CAD models the Odette organisation has worked out a CAD/CAM quality assurance method. This method includes how agreements between companies exchanging CAD data could be setup but also CAD-technical requirements. See document: CAD/CAM Data Quality Assurance Method Odette recommendation ODG11CQ9504. Volvo Car Corporation follows these requirements with a few exceptions. In those cases VCC has another recommendation so is mentioned.
2.5 Fillets/chamfers
All radiis and fillets shall be defined in the DSM Basis model. Under special circumstances it is possible to make exceptions from above. This should in such cases be stated in a written agreement. This is an exception from the Odette recommendation. Odette recommends that only radiis and fillets 3 mm are defined HINT! When creating DSM Basis models for prototyping and test vehicles radiis 3 mm are enough to define.

2.6 Model size in CATIA

At VCC the model size (in Mb) is limited. The exact limit is changing due to improving soft- and hardware and is therefore not mentioned here. Ask your local CAD support at VCC or if you are working externally, ask your contact at VCC. If the limit is not sufficient to create a model, the model should be segmented. If there is a requirement (e.g. from external suppliers) for a different model size, an agreement should be drawn up.

3 Document - Part - Structure.

3.1 Identification of Information class / Subject category.
The Information class / Subject category for the DSM models and part drawings are: GEDR/NUFO The integrated DSM Basis model and part drawing. DRAW/PROD The separate part drawing in CATIA. The drawing may be defined in DRAW alone or in a combination of SPACE/DRAW. Geometry occurring in SPACE is disregarded. It is seen solely as a support for the drawing information. DRAW/PROD may be defined as a primary (product defining) document. GEOM/NUFO The separate DSM Basis model. Used when the DSM and the drawing exceed the maximum model size or by any other reason must be separated. GEOM/PACK Packaging 3D geometry. May only be defined as a supplementary (non product defining) document. DRAW/PACK A sketch of a part. May only be defined as a supplementary (non product defining) document. GEDR/PACK An integrated packaging 3D geometry and a sketch. May only be defined as a supplementary (non product defining) document. DRAW, GEDR and GEOM / BLNK The drawing, the integrated 3D geometry/drawing and the separate 3D geometry for a blank. GEOM/SUMO The 3D geometry used in a supporting models. See. chapter 3.7. For the complete list of the Information classes / subject categories see document Identification of VCC Industrial documents.

3.2 Symmetry
The complete model should be described, even for symmetrical parts. One component which for the most part is symmetrical along Y=0 (e.g. the member above the rear window) is created in the corresponding manner. The basic rule is thus that the left side's geometry is reflected to the right side so as to obtain a comprehensive description. Note however, that for RHD vehicles, there are components which instead must be reflected from right to left, e.g. the glove compartment. Examples A. CAD-model internal symmetry
Defined geometry
Part
Applies for models symmetrical around Y=0 NOTE! Be aware of surface normal when mirroring surfaces
B. Twin geometry (100% symmetry) Defined geometry Part B
Part A
NOTE! One position for each part the geometry defines => two positions for the geometry.

3.5 Segmentation of drawings / DSM Basis models

3.5.1 Segmentation of a DSM Basis model When a part cannot be defined in ONE numerical model for reasons of space, the DSM must be split up. This can be achieved in different ways. The parameters for segmentation (logical and well-defined) have to be reviewed in each individual case. Naming the segments All segments in a model has the same name and document number, they are only separated by the segment number, -0X-. When changes are made which only affects one of the segments, the issue is enumerated on this certain segment and the number one, -01-, segment. Ex: GEOM/NUFO-01234567-003--01-NAME GEOM/NUFO-01234567-002--02-NAME GEOM/NUFO-01234567-003--03-NAME GEOM/NUFO-01234567-001--04-NAME Examples of different segmentation of a DSM.

Issue: 07 Date: 02-01-14 Page 17(74)
3.5.2 Segmentation of integrated drawing/DSM Basis model GEDR/NUFO If the drawing and the DSM together exceed the maximum size allowed the models are to be segmented/separated into two or more GEOM/NUFO models and two or several GEDR/PROD models. The GEOM/NUFO model Contains 3D geometry such as wires and surfaces. If this model in turn must be segmented this is done in the usual manner. No DRAW information is allowed in the model(s). The DRAW/PROD model and the DRAW/PACK model Contains the 3D wires, as copies from the GEOM/NUFO-model, and all DRAW information necessary for completion of the drawing. The 3D-wires in the model are usually visible in the projection views of the drawing. The cross section views show 3D cuts. These are created by cutting the surface model in the cross section plane. If the DRAW/PROD model need to be segmented, this is done by separating the projection views and the section views. Method 1: Split the DSM and the drawing (RECOMMENDED)
GEOM/NUFO 01234567-002-01
GEDR/NUFO 01234567-001-01 DRAW/PROD 01234567-002-01

Iss.X Iss.X+1
GEOM/NUFO
GEDR/NUFO
At the change-over from document-type GEOM/NUFO (DSMmodel) to type GEDR/NUFO (integrated DSM-model and drawing) the issue no. is to be increased by one unit. The same issue no. as in the model title is found on the title block of the drawing.
Example: GEOM/NUFO is saved in archive with issue no. 003. The 3D-model is complemented with an integrated drawing. The model is named GEDR/NUFO and the issue number raised to no. 4. No. 004 is written in the issue field in the drawing title block. The model is released to archive.

GEDR/NUFO
Iss. X+1
DRAW/PROD
When the GEDR/NUFO-model is divided up into a GEOM/ NUFO-model and a DRAW/PROD-drawing, the issue no. is raised by one unit on both models.
Example: GEDR/NUFO is saved in the archive with issue no. 003. On up-dating, the maximum model size is exceeded and the NUFO and the drawing must be separated. The model is re-named GEOM/NUFO and the issue number is raised to no. 004. The drawing part is removed from the model. The drawing is re-named DRAW/PROD and the issue number becomes no. 004. In the issue field of the drawings title block no. 004 appears. Both models are released to the archive. NB: In the following alterations the issue nos. do not have to be the same. The same issue no. applies only to the first storage in archive.

GEDR/NUFO
Iss. Y
DRAW/PROD
When the GEOM/NUFO-model and a DRAW/PROD-drawing become an integrated GEDR/NUFO-model, the issue number is to be raised one unit from that of the model and drawing, which previously had the highest issue number.
Example: GEOM/NUFO is stored in archive with issue no. 003 and DRAW/ PROD with issue no. 006. While working on the alterations it was seen that it was easier to combine the drawing with the DSM-model. The integrated model was named GEDR/NUFO and the issue no. raised to no. 007. In this case it is the drawings issue no. which dictated the new issue no., since it was the higher of the two previous. The model is released to the archive.

3.6.4 The issue for an independent drawing to a DSM Basis model shall proceed as follows: GEOM/NUFO -> GEOM/NUFO + DRAW/PROD A pure DSM basis model is supplemented with an independent drawing. (No change in the DSM basis-model)

Iss.X

On addition of an independent drawing to a DSM Basis model, the drawing receives a completely new issue no. There is no need for a connection between the issue nos. on the documents.
Example: GEOM/NUFO is stored in archive under issue no. 003. The DSM basis model requires the addition of a drawing. When the drawing is released to the archive, its issue no. is to be no. 001. As a general rule, the issue no. applicable to a document concerning separation or discontinuation CAN NEVER BE LOWER than an earlier issue no.

3.7 Multimodel environment for solids

3.7.1 General With multimodel concept it is possible to divide a solid model into several models with links between them. Models are imported to a resulting model and then solid operations are done between the resulting and the imported models. The imported models are then integrated in the history tree and links between the models are stored in the models. Advantages using multimodels for solids: Ease of use: - Decreased model size - Decreased size of the PART EDITOR tree - High performance of modelling. Concurrent engineering: - Co-design on the same part - Concurrent associative PART & TOOLING design Associative engineering changes: - Ability to modify and replace components. - Controlled engineering changes propagation through multimodel structure - Single data control for repetitive components - Ability to reroute associative mechanism between models
3.7.2 Identification of Information class / Subject category

The category code for the resulting model defining the complete part is GEOM/NUFO. The category code for the resulting model defining the blank is GEOM/BLNK. The category code for the supporting, imported models is GEOM/SUMO. SUMO = SUpporting MOdels.

3.7.3 Naming convention Resulting and blank model: The models are named according to VCC standard. Supporting models: The supporting models are named with the same number but different segments. They can have different issues. New issue and re-linking only if there is a geometrical change. Example (gearbox): Resulting, model defining the complete part: GEOM/NUFO-01234567-005--01-GEARBOX Supporting model: GEOM/SUMO-01234567-001--01-GEARBOX MACHINING Model for the blank: GEOM/BLNK-02345678-005--01-GEARBOX CAST Supporting models: GEOM/SUMO-02345678-002--01-GEARBOX OUTSIDE GEOM/SUMO-02345678-004--02-GEARBOX INSIDE GEOM/SUMO-02345678-003--01-GEARBOX MASHINING

3.7.4 Reading multi-models from archive It is possible to use the resulting model (GEOM/NUFO) in the downstream process for analyse, packaging, NC preparation etc. If there should be a change in the model, all affected supporting models (GEOM/SUMO) must be read and afterwards updated. The links between the resulting model and the supporting models must then be updated in the active file. 3.7.5 External communication The resulting model (GEOM/NUFO) from the archive can be sent in the common way. It can be used for downstream activities. If the model will be changed the supporting models must also be sent. There are 2 ways to do this: 1. The resulting model together with the supporting models will be sent (recommended). 2. The imported features can be exploded with the command SOLIDE/MODIFY/OPERATN/REPLACE. The supporting models must be in the session as passive models.There will be only one model to send containing all geometry and history.

3.8 Fictitious parts to position fasteners

To build a true virtual vehicle or Digital Mock Up (DMU) all parts has to be geometrically described and defined in the correct positions in the car. This also applies to small parts such as fasteners. The problem with the fasteners are all the positions they are defined in the car. The large number of parts together with the amount of positions is the reason why the fasteners are excluded in the DMU part list. If the fastener is delivered with its complete part it should not be positioned in a fictitious part. In order to include the fasteners in the virtual vehicle and to minimise the amount of 3D-models and positions there is a solution by using fictitious parts. This is described below. Registrate the fictitious part with part type FICT (fictitious). Create a CATIA PACK-model which contains all the fasteners placed in the correct way. The fasteners are collected from a standard library FGR1XXX (recommended) or created by oneself. Position the fict CATIA PACK-model positioned and connected to the fictitious part.
Example in appendix B. FICTITIOUS PARTS IN KDP AND PM A fictitious part must be requested from the change order administrator. It must also be in the structure change order. The fictitious part is connected to functional group and it is possible to manage date of introduction. In KDP pos 915 should be used. In PM the pack model should be connected to the fictitious part number.

3.9 Nominal shape - adapted (compensated) shape

Nominal shape. The nominal shape of a part can either be: - Shape as delivered to Volvo before assembly process. - Shape after assembly process. The difference in the definition of what is the nominal shape depends on: - Agreement Volvo - supplier. - The part itself, difference between a body part, a rubber hose and a spring. - Requirements and measuring of part before and after the assembly process. Adapted (compensated) shape Due to the assembly process, the shape of the part is changed or forced in to another shape, wholly or partially. Depending if the nominal shape of the part is defined to be before or after the assembly process the adapted shape is the opposite. See figure: Delivered part Nominal shape Assembled part Adapted shape
Adapted shape
Nominal shape
Digital Shape Models for nominal and adapted shape When the Digital Shape Model is defined as basis, the DSM Basis shall define the nominal shape of the part. E.g. GEOM/NUFO = Nominal shape. The DSM that defined the adapted shape of the part can not be defined as a DSM Basis model, but will be needed, if the adapted shape is defining the assembled part, for packaging and final measuring of the vehicle. To be able to define the difference between the nominal shape and the adapted shape of the part three different methods for the definitions of DSM may be used. The method to use depends what shape of the part that is defined as nominal, as delivered or as assembled. The methods are: The assembly adaptation is defined in the drawing

F = xx N Nominal shape = DSM basis model (GEOM/NUFO) (assembled in vehicle) The agreement with the supplier of the part is based on the DSM basis model and the drawing. The supplier is responsible for any DSM representing the unassembled shape. 3.9.2 The unassembled shape as DSM basis, one assembled shape. The unassembled shape is defined to be used as DSM basis. E.g. the shape of the part that is delivered to the assembly plant is stated as basis in the agreement with the supplier. Two models has to be created: One DSM basis (category code NUFO) representing the unassembled shape of the part One adapted DSM (category code PACK-ADAPTED) representing the shape of the part when assembled.

The degree of polynomials should be as low as possible to limit the necessary approximations during data exchange.
1st degree
2nd degree
3rd degree
4th degree
Recommendation: Degree of polynomials 5.
4.2 Analytical curves (canonical representation)

Analytical curves (e.g. circles, paraboloids) should be created and exchanged analytically. If it is not possible, an approximation will produce differences in accuracy. Keep the CATIA default value. Recommendation: Analytic definitions preferred. In other words; If a circle is created, the circle should be kept as a circle and not be broken and approximated to curves with lower degree. NOTE! This must be tested and evaluated when using a new supplier who not uses CATIA.

5.7 Gap/overlap
Limit values for gap/overlap differs from situation to situation. Gaps like in the first situation according to picture below, where the tangency is kept between the surfaces is easier to manage than situation two, where there is a combination of a gap and an overlap. If adjustments has to be done in the tool due to overlap, it is much worse if the adjustments has to be done on the base surface instead on the transferring surface. In picture below, situation A is worse then B in some situation and vice versa in other situations. It depends on material and manufacturing method. Recommendation: Gaps/overlap 0.05 mm.

6 Solids
6.1 Degrees
It is recommended that construction geometries for solids use a maximum of 5 degrees. This applies primarily when arcs have been created. Approximating circles is not recommended. Converting a solid model to a surface model may cause the occurrence of high degrees, if the solid is constructed via the following SOLIDE operations: /CYLINDER /REVOLUTION /SPHERE /CONE /TORUS /PIPE 8 degrees 9 degrees 8, 11 degrees 8 degrees 8, 11 degrees 11 degrees
This is allowed, however the subcontractor must be contacted for consultation.
6.2 Changes
When needed, changes should be made in red colour (colour no 2) via function: SOLIDE /MODIFY /DRESS UP /COLOR. or using mousebutton 3 in the Part Editor window on the branch concerned. Only individual primitives may be coloured. FK GRAPHIC may not be used, as this colours the entire solid. For multimodel: a. extract surfaces in level 1 or level 2. b. put them in a changes layer, 124 and 161.
6.3 Model size

Division of a solid can be done by working in a multimodel-environment. When releasing solid models larger then 20Mb, contact your local CAD-support.

6.5 SOLIDM <-> SOLIDE

By the VCC working methods solids are always created via SOLIDE. Within SOLIDM there is none of the functionality which has been added in version 4. SOLIDM -> SOLIDE This is usually performed when a SOLIDM has been received from a design partner. Conversion is performed via: SOLIDE / MODIFY / SOLTYPE and UPDATE.
6.6 External communication

When distributing a solid model via EXTER to CAD systems, other than CATIA there are two possibilities: 3. If the receiving partner is using STEP, the solid model is transferred as a solid. 4. If the receiving partner is using IGES or VDAFS the solid model is automatically converted to a surface model.

9 Coordination between drawing and DSM Basis model.

9.1 Distinctiveness
For all documentation which defines a part, the overall information content should be distinct and comprehensive. The aim of this information is to produce the required part and to provide a legally solid basis for purchase negotiations. The following requirements applies to DSM Basis model.
9.2 Comprehensive information content

The geometric shape is defined with the help of drawings and the DSM Basis model. The level of detail of the information varies as the development of the DSM and drawing proceeds and should be agreed upon by the parties concerned for each stage. The required information should be available either on a drawing or in the DSM Basis model. For computerised follow-up and verification of DSM Basis models from the complete-car viewpoint (fit etc.) it is crucial that they are comprehensive.
9.3 Generating drawings

Surface model: During the design phase a DSM is normally first created in CATIA. The model consists of surfaces and wires. The drawing is defined in integration with this model. In the drawing the DSM wires are shown in the projection view. The model cross sections are defined in 3D Space of the CATIA model and shown in section views in the drawing. The drawing is completed by annotations as total dimensions and tolerances. Changes are first done on the DSM. The drawing is then updated. Solid model: First a SOLID model is created. Then views and cross sections are created, preferably by AUXVIEW2 function whereby drafting elements are created from the solids projections and cross sections. The drawing is completed by annotations as total dimensions and tolerances. Changes are first done on the solid model. The drawing is then updated.

Issue: 07 Date: 02-01-14 Page 53(74)
9.4 Dimensions
Requirement specifications not stipulated in DSM Basis model are to be included on the drawing. Example: tolerances for finished part. STD 5027,3 establish how to define such dimensions. When basic dimensions are indicated on the drawing, these dimensions apply. When basic dimensions are omitted on the drawing or placed within brackets, the Digital Shape Model basis (DSM-basis) applies. When specifying tolerances for dimensions where a digital shape model serves as basis, the basic dimensions can be omitted or be given as auxiliary dimensions in brackets. Dimensions obtained from the DSM Basis model form the basis for stated tolerances. In addition, the master location point positions are to be stated on the drawing. Inspections should always be based on DSM Basis model, or documentation derived from DSM Basis. If possible, avoid having the same information in DSM Basis model and on the drawing (duplicate information).

Other tolerances stated for each respective requirement, with or without base dimensions. Tolerances to be set for all requirements on drawings until further notice. 9.5.3 Master Location Points Master location points are to be included in the DSM Basis model in a special LAYER. Note that master location points should be unique for left and right sides respectively and not be created as an automatically generated mirror image. The Master location points shall be placed on the defined surface, it is not allowed to define them in midair due to material thickness. The symbols should be obtained from the CATIA library STD5XXX. From the DSM Basis model, they should, at present, also be defined on the drawing, both graphically and in table form (to two decimal points). The coordinates defined in the drawing is used for information only when DSM Basis applies. Positions are defined in DSM Basis model by the end of the view line, the coordinates of which are analysed. See also: The method description. STD 5026,2 master location system Document Master Location Symbols on CATIA Models. 9.5.4 Transition between surfaces All radiis and fillets shall be defined in the DSM Basis model. Example; DSM Basis model of a thin-walled part.
9.5.5 Theoretical corners Theoretical acute corners should be saved in the DSM Basis model in layers for wires (layers for auxiliary geometry may be used) in order to simplify future design changes.

1 Optimising DSM models

Once the work has progressed sufficiently to allow DSM Basis models to be used for tool design, manufacture and inspection, it is necessary for the documentation to follow certain basic regulations. It is these regulations and requirements which are the primary concern of the this manual. However, there is a risk of working too much with the DSM models at an early stage of the project. It is not always essential to have a detailed surface model or a solid for all circumstances, indeed sometimes it may even be unusable for its intended purpose. The descriptions below are a rough guide to which types of models are suitable for the various purposes. For this section, we have chosen to specify the following alternative model types: Rough 3D-model Intermediate 3D-model Final 3D-model
1.1 Rough 3D-model, (GEOM/PACK)

Of informative character. May be approximated and incomplete. Purpose Prepare models for casting, start up design of tools, assembly and checking equipment. In all cases this applies to equipment made in testing purposes. Max. allowed divergence from exact DSM: 10 mm No transfer surfaces like fillets, chamfers etc. No drafts. Surface model Solid

CAD STANDARDS
1.2 Intermediate 3D-model, (GEOM/PACK)

Purpose Milling of casting models and manufacturing of casting items and stands for assembly and checking equipment. In all cases this applies to equipment made in testing purposes. Max. allowed divergence from exact DSM: 3.5 mm Transfer surfaces (fillets) with radii > 15 mm should be made in the model. No drafts. Surface model Solid
1.3 Final 3D-model, DSM Basis (GEOM/NUFO)

Must meet the DSM Basis requirements which are described in other places in the manual. See also section section 9.5 on page 54. Purpose Used to manufacture tools and checking equipment. No divergence allowed. Surface model Solid

2 Agreement on the contents and use of DSM (DSM preparation)

DSM preparation:
Shall include a thorough review of the purposes of the DSM and the standards thus required for structure, content and precision. Shall be integrated with other work, so as to ensure suitable geometry. Shall be implemented by the person creating the geometry before work begins, together with the intended users.
Every user/recipient should keep an accurate record so as to document all verified agreements. DSM Basis model accessibility (release times) should also be scheduled.
2.1 Purposes
From the very outset, the parties should agree on the use to which the DSM will be put. Here are a few application areas. Styling studies Analysis (stress, crash, etc.) Packaging studies Study of requirement conformity Engineering documentation for suppliers Basis for discussions/decisions NC-processing Laser processing Tool planing/preparation. Manufacture of blanks Manufacture of test tools Manufacture of production tools Manufacture of inspection equipment Inspection using measuring equipment Illustrative documents (e.g. for Service).

2.2 Structure
There are various requirements on the DSM structure depending on the purpose for which it is used. Here are a few examples of agreements which can be made between the parties: Surface model containing information to be used for analysis (e.g. Moldflow). Sensitive areas which require extremely precise and thorough geometry. Boundary curves which are crucial for things such as analysis of draft angles. Degrees for surfaces and boundary curves. Use of FACE.
2.3 Model type

The choice of model type is sometimes important in various application areas. VCC currently has the following model types: Rough 3D-model Intermediate 3D-model Final 3D-model
See the section Optimising DSM modelson page 61.
2.4 Contents
The requirements for DSM content vary with intended use. An agreement should be drawn up specifying the inclusion or otherwise of the following: Depressions Joggles Trim lines Holes Fillets Radii Theoretical corners

CAD STANDARDS
2.5 Precision
Agreements to be drawn up concerning: Areas of geometry which place considerable demands on precision, and areas which offer greater freedom. The type of precision intended: angle relative distance curvature reflection Requirements concerning precision of individual surfaces and boundary curves. Tolerances concerning gaps, overlap, mating surfaces. See also the section entitled CAD Technical Requirements.
2.6 Process requirements

Agreements are to be drawn up concerning which process requirements are to be taken into consideration and, where relevant, integrated into the NUFO. E.g.: Draft angles Part line/surface Tool direction Tool radii Analysis of assembly friendliness Analysis of service-friendliness
