Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 105: Integrated application resource: Kinematics (ISO 10303-105:1996). This part defines an integrated resource for representing kinematic aspects of mechanical products to support data exchange between CAD systems and kinematic analysis systems.

Abstract

Describes an information model for the kinematic aspects of a mechanical product as required for communication between CAD systems and kinematic analysis systems, and among dissimilar kinematic analysis systems. The model specifies entities and relationships needed to represent links, joints, degrees of freedom, reference frames and constraints for kinematic assemblies within the STEP framework.

Scope

ISO 10303-105:1996 provides an EXPRESS-based information model for kinematic entities and relationships required to represent the motion-related aspects of mechanical products. Its scope includes representation of links, joints, kinematic constraints, reference frames and motion parameters to enable neutral data exchange for kinematic analysis and simulation between heterogeneous systems. The part is defined as an integrated application resource within the wider ISO 10303 (STEP) family.

Key topics and requirements

• Formal information model for kinematics: entities for links, joints, mechanisms and assemblies.
• Representation of degrees of freedom and kinematic constraints (geometric and topological constraints governing motion).
• Reference-frame and transformation constructs for positioning and motion description.
• Support for motion parameters and trajectories required for kinematic analysis and simulation.
• Mapping and serialization within the STEP framework (EXPRESS-schema compatibility and conformance requirements).
• Conformance classes and requirements for data exchange between CAD and kinematic-analysis tools.

Typical use and users

Used by CAD/CAM vendors, kinematic and multibody dynamics simulation tool developers, robotics and mechanism designers, systems integrators, and organizations exchanging product and motion data between design and analysis environments. It is employed where neutral, vendor-independent representation of mechanism geometry and motion is required for interoperability, archival or downstream simulation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10303-105:1996 is the STEP integrated application resource that defines an information model for kinematic aspects of mechanical products to support data exchange between CAD and kinematic analysis systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers entities and relationships needed to represent links, joints, mechanisms, degrees of freedom, reference frames, constraints and motion descriptors so that kinematic behavior can be exchanged and interpreted by different tools.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: CAD and CAx vendors, simulation and kinematics tool developers, robotics/mechanism engineers, systems integrators and organizations needing neutral exchange of motion and mechanism data.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1996 edition is withdrawn and later revised; ISO publishes newer versions of Part 105 (for example 2014 and later updates). Users should consult the latest ISO 10303-105 revision for current text and conformance rules.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. It is one part of the ISO 10303 (STEP) series, which is subdivided into parts for description methods, implementation methods, integrated resources and application protocols used across CAD, CAM, CAE and PDM domains.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: STEP; kinematics; product data representation; EXPRESS; joints; links; mechanisms; motion; CAD/CAM interoperability.
