PDM-UG: Pre-Defined Properties
From WikiSTEP
This page belongs to the PDM Usage Guide.
For the representation of part properties, a number of property types have been pre-defined. It is recommended to use these values for the property_definition.name attribute where applicable.
- Recyclability property - A recyclability property is information concerning the ability to reuse objects or components of objects after their primarily intended usage. For recyclability properties of parts property_definition.name = 'recyclability property' shall be used.
- Mass property - a mass property is a quantity of matter of which an object consists.
For mass properties of parts property_definition.name = 'mass property' shall be used.
- Quality property - A quality property is a property that provides information about the level of quality of products or processes. A quality property documents, e.g., the level of quality reached for the parts prototypes. For quality properties of parts property_definition.name = 'quality property' shall be used.
- Cost property - a cost property is a property that specifies costs. For cost properties of parts property_definition.name = 'cost property' shall be used.
- Duration property - A duration property is a property that specifies a period of time during which a given object is used or will last. For duration properties property_definition.name = 'duration property' shall be used.
Descriptive representation item
A descriptive_representation_item is in the property context a textual element that participates in one or more representations to define the respective properties.
Attributes
- The name attribute characterizes the information modeled with the descriptive_representation_item.
- The description attribute defines a textual value as an instantiation of the modeled property.
| ENTITY descriptive_representation_item | Attribute Population | Remarks |
