ISO 10303-508:2001
Industrial automation systems and integration - Product data representation and exchange - Part 508 : application interpreted construct : non-manifold surface
This part of ISO 10303 specifies the interpretation of the integrated resources to satisfy requirements forthe description of geometric shapes by means of non-manifold surface models.The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 10303:— 3D points;— points defined in the parameter space of curves or surfaces;— 3D curves;— curves defined in the parameter space of surfaces;NOTE - Such curves are also known as pcurves or cons, which are acronyms for parametrised curveand curve on surface.— the elementary curve types line, circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola;— intersection curves;— polylines that consist of at least three points;— the elementary surface types plane, cylinder, cone, torus, and sphere;— swept surfaces created by rotation or linear extrusion of a curve;— sculptured curves and surfaces;— trimming of curves and surfaces using topological entities;— composition of curves and surfaces using topological entities;— replication of curves, surfaces, and surface models;— 3D offsets of curves and surfaces;— non-manifolds.The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 10303:— unbounded geometry;— self-intersecting geometry;— geometry in a 2D cartesian coordinate space;— replication of points;— topology without an association to a corresponding geometric domain.
This part of ISO 10303 specifies the interpretation of the integrated resources to satisfy requirements for
the description of geometric shapes by means of non-manifold surface models.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 10303:
— 3D points;
— points defined in the parameter space of curves or surfaces;
— 3D curves;
— curves defined in the parameter space of surfaces;
NOTE - Such curves are also known as pcurves or cons, which are acronyms for parametrised curve
and curve on surface.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
