ISO 13584-31:1999

This part of ISO 13584 specifies an application programming interface that enables an application program

to generate geometric models that are independent of the target user system. The interface allows

portability of programs that describe parametric shape representations of parts families held in an ISO

13584 parts library.

The following are within the scope of this International Standard:

— programs to generate geometric representations within a modelling system that are independent of the

target system,

— programs that specify geometric representations that are created through constraint-based geometric

definitions,

— programs that structure geometric representations created independently of the target system,

— programs that specify presentation style attributes for symbolic visualisation of representations created,

— programs that support technical drawing standard conventions for shape representation, including a 2D

hidden line mechanism.

The following are outside the scope of this International Standard:

— The precise control of the image to be displayed on the receiving system devices,

— The precise definition of the data that shall be created on the receiving system,

— The storage of a parametric model on the receiving system.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

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.
