Use of GMAP (Geometric Modeling Applications Interface Program) Software as a PDES (Product Data Exchange Specification) Environment in the National PDES Testbed Project

摘要

The report is a basic guide to the use of the GMAP System Architecture as installed on the NIST AMRF VAX as part of the National PDES Testbed Project. An overview of the GMAP System Architecture is provided. The use of the GMAP software to create an implementation environment for the PDES Draft Proposal Specification (February 1989) is outlined. The software organization on the NIST AMRF VAX and the development of test and validation applications are described. The GMAP System Architecture consists of software system components which meet the three basic requirements of an automated product data environment. The requirements are data definition, application support, and data exchange. The system components are defined and the role they play is described.
