Abstract :
Two engineering data exchange standards have emerged in the realm of design-IGES (initial graphics exchange specification) and PDES (product data exchange using STEP). The authors discuss how these data exchange standards are being integrated into the ROSE (Rensselaer object system for engineering) system, a database system developed to support concurrent engineering. An overview of ROSE is given, followed by background material on IGES and PDES. The integration of these standards into ROSE is considered. Exchanging data between applications is an important requirement for heterogeneous concurrent engineering systems. The ROSE data management system meets this requirement by providing interfaces to the IGES data exchange standard and the PDES proposed standard, as well as a data translation tool for altering the structure of a composite object in a ROSE database
