Abstract
Normalisation of STEP Files for Improving the Data Compatibility of Transferred Tool Models
Highlights
In 2011 the initiative "Industrie 4.0" was introduced in Germany for the first time
This paper examines the avoidance of compatibility problems due to interface-related causes by normalising the STEP files
The poor quality of exchanged 3D models still poses a big problem in today's industry
Summary
In 2011 the initiative "Industrie 4.0" was introduced in Germany for the first time. This fourth industrial revolution is intended to expand the already highly automated industry by developing intelligent monitoring and autonomous decision-making processes to enable the control and optimisation of entire value-added networks [1, 2]. In order to assess the quality of the export or import of different 3D CAD programs, studies are conducted at the Chair of Engineering Design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth In these investigations the transfer of different selected features via the neutral exchange format STEP is considered. These investigations are absolutely necessary because, in spite of the possibilities and the great potential of the STEP standard, studies show that there are often transfer problems in practice [3, 4] These errors result in multiple manual reworking of the virtual model and are preventing a development towards Industry 4.0. This paper examines the avoidance of compatibility problems due to interface-related causes by normalising the STEP files
