BS EN 9300 series focuses on Long Term Archiving and Retrieval (LOTAR) of digital technical product documentation for aerospace applications.
BS EN 9300-110 covers business specification for long term archiving and retrieval of CAD 3D explicit geometry and essential information of CAD 3D explicit geometry (solids, curves, surfaces, and points) to be preserved.
BS EN 9300-110 describes data structures detailing the main fundamentals and concepts of CAD 3D explicit geometry and verification rules to check CAD 3D explicit geometry for consistency and data quality.
BS EN 9300-110 also covers validation rules to be stored with the CAD 3D explicit geometry in the archive to check essential characteristics after retrieval.
BS EN 9300-110 on LOTAR for aerospace is useful for:
Many companies are migrating their design processes from traditional hard-copy drawings and documents to using digital data. New processes are needed to archive digital data and preserve access to it, in compliance with business and regulatory requirements appropriate to this new media. Over these time periods, changes in technology impact the ability to retrieve and use product data. Organizations, which use digital product data, will need strategies and processes that maintain the usability of the data over multiple generations of technology.
BS EN 9300-110 provides you with the requirements on a digital archive to preserve for the long term the 3D explicit geometry of single CAD parts. The goal is to preserve the 3D information without loss with respect to the geometry produced by the original CAD system, following the principles laid down in EN 9300-003 “Fundamentals and Concepts”, including the use of an open data format.
BS EN 9300-110 provides you with description of use cases for retrieval of CAD mechanical 3D explicit geometry. Use cases for long term archiving and retrieval of CAD mechanical are used to verify that the specifications meet the business requirements, to identify any gaps that occur over time, and to fix them.
