Introduction

ISO 10303 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation of product information and for the exchange of product data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing products throughout their life cycle. This mechanism is suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases, and as a basis for retention and archiving.

An application interpreted construct (AIC) provides a logical grouping of interpreted constructs that supports a specific functionality for the usage of product data across multiple application contexts. An interpreted construct is a common interpretation of the integrated resources that supports shared information requirements among application protocols.

This part of ISO 10303 specifies the application interpreted construct for curve swept solid. This provides the definition of a shape representation containing swept solids, each of which is either a swept_area_solid or a swept_disk_solid. A new subtype of surface_curve_swept_area_solid is included to enable more precise control of the orientation of a planar area as it is swept along a directrix to create a solid.

Technical modifications to the first edition of this part of ISO 10303 are categorised as follows: changes to the EXPRESS declarations, new EXPRESS declarations, and changes to definitions of EXPRESS entity data types.

The following aic_curve_swept_solid EXPRESS declarations and interface specifications have been modified:

curve_swept_solid_shape_representation;
ruled_surface_swept_area_solid.
