Full title and description

ISO 10303-61:2011 — Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 61: Integrated generic resource: Systems engineering representation. This document specifies the integrated generic resource constructs used to represent systems-engineering concepts (state-based and function-based behaviour and descriptive text) within the ISO 10303 (STEP) family.

Abstract

ISO 10303-61:2011 defines resource constructs for representing systems-engineering concepts in STEP-based data exchange. It covers state-based behaviour representation concepts, function-based behaviour representation concepts, and description-text representation concepts to support systems-engineering information within product-data models.

Scope

Specifies the integrated generic resource constructs for systems-engineering representation within ISO 10303. In scope are the definition of state-based behaviour representation concepts, definition of function-based behaviour representation concepts, and definition of description text representation concepts to enable representation and exchange of systems-engineering information in STEP-based models.

Key topics and requirements

• Integrated generic resource constructs tailored for systems-engineering representation (entities and relationships used by higher-level application protocols).
• State-based behaviour representation concepts (states, transitions, state machines and related constructs).
• Function-based behaviour representation concepts (functions, functional decompositions, interfaces and behaviour descriptions).
• Description-text representation concepts (structured text and descriptive annotations for systems-engineering artefacts).
• Conformance expectation: resource constructs to be implemented or referenced by application protocols and system-modeling tools exchanging STEP data.

Typical use and users

Used by standards implementers, CAD/PLM and systems-engineering tool vendors, data-exchange engineers, systems engineers and integrators who need to represent and exchange systems-level behaviour and descriptive information in STEP-conformant product-data models. Typical workflows include model interchange between systems-engineering tools and downstream PLM/CAD environments, and creation of application protocols that reference the resource constructs.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10303-61:2011 is the part of the STEP family that defines integrated generic resource constructs for systems-engineering representation — covering concepts for behaviour and descriptive text used in STEP data models.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers state-based and function-based behaviour representation concepts and description-text representation concepts, providing resource-level entities and relationships that application protocols or implementations can use to represent systems-engineering information.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Systems engineers, PLM/CAD/CAE tool vendors, standards implementers, and data-exchange specialists who need to represent or exchange systems-level behaviour and descriptive information in STEP-conformant formats.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10303-61:2011 has been withdrawn and superseded by ISO 10303-61:2019; users should refer to the 2019 edition for the current published content and for the confirmed active version of Part 61.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 61 of the ISO 10303 family (STEP). The ISO 10303 suite contains many parts, including integrated generic resources (Parts 41–62) and application protocols (Parts 201–299) that build on these resources.
