Digital Engineering Visualization Services: Automotive Process Examples and Usage of International Recommendations
Dr. Reinhold Klass, Daimler AG

Abstract
The visualization of 3D product data on a PC becomes more and more important, especially in processes, which do not use traditional CAD systems. For these processes the Digital Engineering Visualization (DEV) technology provides powerful solutions.

Based on productive examples we show how JT based DEV data are used for 3D based processes without 2D drawings, virtual reality, packaging, digital mock up, body in white and powertrain, Digital factory and more. We also point out future challenges, tasks and trends. The presentation will be followed by several typical examples in the Daimler Product Engineering Processes incl. connections to global suppliers.

Another aspect is the standardization and publishing of rules and recommendations for 3D annotation standards including the openness of the DEV format. This will ensure the universal and cost saving usage of JT data throughout the process chains, e.g. for long term archiving of 3D models. Here we point out the results of international co-operations like SASIG and JT Open.

The usage of this Digital Engineering Visualization will bring a big advantage in the automotive product creation processes: low cost, easy to use, enables non-CAD users to perform functions currently only performed by CAD operators, mobility using portable DEV formats on laptops, better collaboration, reduction and/or elimination of drawings.

SASIG XMTD Engdat V3 and OFTP2 - A Global Standard in Engineering Data Exchange
Torsten Schmied, Johnson Controls GmbH

Abstract
Globalization demands worldwide cooperation between vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. It is therefore necessary to automate the exchange of engineering data, such as CAD or PDM data, and to develop appropriate standards for it.

The eXchange and Management of Technical Data (XMTD) committee of SASIG was formed in 2001 with the mission "To evaluate technical data exchange requirements against available standardized approaches, and recommend global solutions".

As a result of the XMTD working group, the form of Engineering Data Message ENGDAT V1 and V2, so far known as “Electronic Delivery Note” in Europe, was newly updated and extended to recent version 3 by international standards.

How Engdat can be Integrated in the whole global engineering process will be shown as an example from Johnson Controls.

JAMA 3-D Annotated Models standardization WG activity and its application status
Takamasa Tanaka, Digital Process Ltd.

Abstract
In the automobile industry the effective use of 3D data models for digital engineering processes becomes very important. Especially, the treatment of 3D annotated models is a big subject along with easy to use solutions to visualize the DEV (Digital Engineering Visualization) on a PC.

Our standardization activities of 3D annotated models are explained. We also give examples how some companies use this in practice of automotive industry Japan. The shown solutions come from the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. and are developed together in an international cooperation with SASIG (Strategic Automotive Product Data Standards Industry Group). We also present final version of our 3D annotated models standard.
