<p>All,</p>
<p>Here are the notes from today's meeting and STEP files for
checking using the NIST STEP File Analyzer.</p>
<p>The digital twin version of the AS1 has one part for every
instance in the twin which means, for example, there are six bolts
with six colors. <br>
</p>
<p>To help understand the data I have sent three files.<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>as1_ug-214 is the original STEP file defined as an EBOM so
there is one instance for all the nuts and bolts</li>
<li>as1-ug-214_dt2 is the MBOM <u>without UUID's</u> so there is
one instance for each nut and bolt. You should be able to read
this into systems that process AP214 or AP242<br>
</li>
<li>as1-ug-242_dt3 is an Part 21 Edition 3 STEP file <u>with
UUID's</u>. You should be able to read this into systems that
process Edition 3.
</li>
</ol>
<p>The image below shows the UUID of one of the parts on the left,
and the color of the instance on the right.<br>
</p>
