Advantages of using SysML Compatible with ISO 10303-233 for Product Design and Development based on STEP Standard

Product development can be defined as the process by which the inception, conception, development, realization, maintenance and demolition/decommissioning of a facility (constructed works) can be described and managed. A crucial problem in the development of new products is to reduce the time required for their design and manufacture while still maintaining high quality and minimum development cost. To achieve this, inputs are needed from experts in a multitude of disciplines as well as from customers and suppliers. The Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML TM ) is a general-purpose modeling language that supports the specification, design, analysis, and verification of systems. ISO 10303, also informally known as the Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP), is a family of standards defining a robust and time-tested methodology for describing product data throughout the lifecycle of a product. This paper describes the compatibilities of SysML for product design and development based on STEP standard. The use of this languages increases reusability of product design data. These data are compatible with STEP standard based on Application Protocol 233 and describe the product specification and requirements. Ensuring the main specifications of the product, product development process will satisfy the STEP standard. This is necessary for integration of product data during its lifecycle.
