reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA270049 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This publication announces the adoption of American National Standard Digital Representation for Communication of Product Definition Data, ASMEANSI Y14.26M-1989, as a Federal Information processing Standard FIPS. ASMEANSI y14.26M-1989, more commonly known as the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification IGES, specifies file structure and syntactical definition, and defines the representation of geometric, topological, and nongeometric product definition data. ASMEANSI Y14.26M-1989 establishes information structures for the digital representation and communication of product definition data. Use of this standard permits the compatible exchange of product definition data used by various computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing CADCAM systems.
