Hi Azin

There are two sample parts at http://www.steptools.com/support/stdev_docs/express/ap224/ ; the geometry one may help you.

If not, I believe I can dig up some ap224 files and documentation for FBICS ( http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=822485 ). I may (or may not) have more documentation than can be found on the net.

I've been meaning to get in touch with you to see if you were having any more trouble with stepcode. I guess it's working now?

Regards

Mark

Hi Azin,

 

Be careful with the file-schema correspondence with the AP224 files from the link that Mark posted.   I looked at several of the files and they indicated that they were for the DIS from 1996.   FYI, I checked stepcode/data on github and it appears that we never tested stecode on any version of AP224 or any corresponding files.   Probably need to change that.  

 

FYI, the features in AP224 were harmonized with those in AP238, AP240, and AP214, and the latter has subsequently been modularized into AP242.   Due to feedback from implementers in the CAX-IF, AP242 also has models for product manufacturing information that are an improvement over those in AP203, AP214, AP224 and AP238.   Since it appears that AP242 and AP238 have all the functionality of AP224, AP224 may be deprecated at some point.   LOTAR International has features on its roadmap, but sample files and testing are not arranged yet with the CAx-IF.     

 

If you let us know more about what you are trying to do, we may be able to point you to some other resources.  

 

Regards, Charlie

What Charlie said jogged my memory; the FBICS files are even worse.

FBICS used an edited version of an early draft, and it used the reference model rather than the interpreted model.
