Scope

ISO/TS 10303-1656:2010-03 specifies the application module for
Component grouping.



The following are within the scope of
ISO/TS 10303-1656:2010-03:



the
representation of the information needed to describe the different ways of grouping assembly components in an assembly.
The module functionality supports discrete and fabricated assemblies, and design reuse of complex design elements.
Random, linear and array placement patterns are supported.
The group is placed in the design with a single placement transformation facilitating high level design operations including
optimization.

the grouping of components within an assembly and their arrangement in a linear or rectangular pattern with a fixed grid;the grouping of components within an assembly and their arrangement in a random arrangement.
