Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 1675: Application module: Functional decomposition to assembly design. This technical specification defines an application module within the ISO 10303 (STEP) family that specifies information structures and mapping rules to allocate functional units in a hierarchical functional network to assembly joint concepts for detailed design analysis and exchange.

Abstract

ISO/TS 10303-1675:2006 specifies the application module for "Functional decomposition to assembly design." It addresses the allocation of a functional unit in a hierarchical network definition to an assembly joint concept in an assembly definition, enabling creation of functional network definitions for detailed and extended analysis of design issues and supporting interchange of that information between systems.

Scope

Specifies the information requirements, ARM entity definitions and module interpreted model for an application module that maps functional decomposition (functional units within hierarchical functional networks) to assembly design constructs (assembly joints and related assembly definitions). The module is intended to support detailed analysis of design issues by enabling exchange of the mapped functional-to-assembly information among design and analysis tools.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the application module for functional decomposition to assembly design (information requirements and purpose).
• Required AM ARMs (Application Module Application Reference Models) and ARM entity definitions, including Design_functional_unit_allocation_to_assembly_joint.
• Module interpreted model (MIM) including mapping specification and EXPRESS short listing for the module.
• Guidance on information object registration and short names (annexes providing MIM short names and registration information).
• Support for creation and exchange of functional network definitions for detailed design analysis.

Typical use and users

Used by systems integrators, CAD/PDM/PLM developers, and engineering teams (mechanical, aerospace, automotive and manufacturing) who implement STEP-based data exchange or need to represent the allocation of functional design elements to assembly joints for analysis, validation, or handoff between design and assembly planning tools. Also used by standards implementers and software vendors creating STEP application-data support.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 10303 (STEP) series; closely related to other ISO/TS 10303 application modules in the 16xx–17xx ranges (for example ISO/TS 10303-1673 and other 167x modules). It belongs to ISO/TC 184/SC 4 work on product data representation and exchange and should be used in conjunction with the core STEP parts and other domain-specific 10303 application modules as needed.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 10303-1675:2006 is a STEP Technical Specification that defines an application module for mapping functional decomposition (functional network elements) to assembly design constructs to support detailed design analysis and data exchange.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the information requirements, ARM entity definitions, mapping specification and MIM EXPRESS short listing needed to represent and exchange allocations of functional units to assembly joints, plus annex material such as MIM short names and registration guidance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Engineers, CAD/PLM software developers, systems integrators and standards implementers working on product data exchange where functional-to-assembly mappings must be represented and exchanged between tools and organizations.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The specification was published in December 2006 (Edition 1) and was reviewed and confirmed by ISO in its systematic reviews (most recently confirmed in 2023). It remains the published technical specification unless later withdrawn or revised by ISO after that review.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 10303 family (STEP). It sits among other ISO/TS 10303 application modules (the 16xx and 17xx parts) that define domain- or task-specific information models for product data exchange.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Functional decomposition, assembly design, application module, ARM, MIM, EXPRESS, STEP, product data representation, product data exchange.
