ISO 10303-214:2010(E)

4.1.6 included_feature (FF2)

This unit of functionality provides the capability to identify areas of interest on an already designed shape as a particular kind of feature whose type and defining parameters are specified in this part of ISO 10303.

NOTE Usually, these features have a certain meaning to the user, such as a correspondence to a manufacturing process operation managed or manageable by the user.

This part of ISO 10303 distinguishes between form features for sheet-type parts or tools and form features for solid-type parts or tools. Among these features are hole, pocket, boss, slot, rib, thread, bead and joggle as well as transition features such as fillet, edge round, and chamfer. Mechanisms for the replication of features and to build up compounds of features are also included. Figure 3 shows the features for solid-type parts covered by this UoF. Figure 4 shows the features for sheet-type parts covered by this UoF.

Within this UoF, a variation of the feature parameters does not result in a change of the shape of the part where the features are applied, i.e., the shape, which is defined explicitly, is not dependent on the feature parameters.

NOTE The parameters may be used to specify the areas of interest in a more appropriate way, e.g., to support manufacturing planning.

This UoF is based on the user_defined_feature UoF.

The following application objects are used by the included_feature UoF:
