Full title and description

Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 216: Application protocol: Ship moulded forms. This ISO part (AP216) defines the information content and structure required to exchange ship moulded form definitions, their geometric representations and related hydrostatic properties for use across the ship design and production lifecycle.

Abstract

ISO 10303-216:2003 specifies scope and information requirements for exchanging ship moulded form definitions, geometric representations and related hydrostatic properties. The standard covers moulded form geometry for commercial and naval ships, supports preliminary, detailed and production design stages, and includes representations used in naval architecture plus provisions for version control and approval of moulded forms.

Scope

This part of ISO 10303 specifies the information and data structures required to represent and exchange ship moulded form definitions and associated hydrostatic properties. Within scope are definition of moulded form geometry for commercial and naval ships; representation across lifecycle stages (preliminary design, detailed design, production); specified geometric representation types used in naval architecture; and version control and approval of moulded forms and their hydrostatics. Items outside scope (where applicable) are other ship-specific domains covered by different APs.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and formalization of moulded-form geometry for ship hulls and related surfaces.
• Support for multiple geometric representation types used in naval architecture and ship design.
• Specification of hydrostatic property information related to moulded forms (e.g., hydrostatics needed for design validation).
• Data structures and semantics to support lifecycle stages: preliminary, detailed and production design.
• Versioning, approval and configuration-control metadata for moulded form definitions.
• Conformance to STEP (ISO 10303) modelling principles and references to implementation methods and related standards.

Typical use and users

Primary users are shipbuilders, naval architects, naval engineering offices, CAD/CAM software vendors that support ship hull modeling, yards performing downstream manufacturing and outfit planning, and systems integrators implementing STEP/AP-based data exchange between design, analysis and production systems. AP216 is used to exchange moulded-form geometry and hydrostatic data between CAD/ship-design applications and downstream consumers in shipbuilding projects.

Related standards

ISO 10303-216 is one application protocol in the ISO 10303 (STEP) family. Other shipbuilding-related APs and related parts of the STEP family include AP215 (ship arrangements), AP218 (ship structures), AP227 (plant/ship piping and spatial configuration) and AP239 (PLCS) as well as implementation and representation parts such as ISO/TS 10303-28 (XML representations of EXPRESS schemas and data) and core EXPRESS language and representation standards referenced by AP216. A technical corrigendum to ISO 10303-216 was published in 2008 to correct or clarify items in the 2003 edition.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10303-216:2003 (AP216) is a STEP application protocol that specifies data semantics and structures for exchanging ship moulded form definitions, their geometric representations and associated hydrostatic properties.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the formal definition of moulded-form geometry for commercial and naval ships, representation types used in naval architecture, hydrostatic properties related to moulded forms, and lifecycle support (preliminary, detailed, production), plus versioning and approval metadata.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Shipyards, naval architects, CAD/CAM vendors and integrators use AP216 to exchange hull geometry and hydrostatic data between design, analysis and production systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original edition was published in 2003 (Edition 1). A technical corrigendum was issued in 2008 (ISO 10303-216:2003/Cor 1:2008). According to the ISO record the 2003 edition has been confirmed in subsequent systematic reviews (the ISO bibliographic record indicates confirmation activity and that the edition remains current as maintained by ISO). Users should verify the ISO catalogue for the absolute current status before procurement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 216 of the ISO 10303 (STEP) family of standards for product data representation and exchange; it is intended to work alongside other STEP application protocols and implementation parts.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: STEP, ISO 10303, AP216, ship moulded forms, hull geometry, hydrostatics, EXPRESS, CAD data exchange, shipbuilding interoperability.
