ASME Y14.41 is a standard published by American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) which establishes requirements and reference documents applicable to the preparation and revision
of digital product definition data (also known as model-based definition), which pertains to
History and purpose
[edit]ASME Y14.41 was born of the need to utilize Computer-aided design (
Since various companies in industries including aerospace, automotive, agricultural, and heavy equipment had already begun utilizing the
ASME Y14.41 served the basis for the international standard ISO 16792:2006 Technical product documentation — Digital product definition data practices. Both standards focus on the presentation of Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) together with the geometry of the product.
The material in the 2012 revision was reorganized to locate all of the information on a topic together in the text. This allows the reader to find all of the requirements for a functional area in one location. In addition, ASME Y14.41 was revised to incorporate changes based on the needs of industry and to reflect changes made to "ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing".
A definition of data set classifications was developed to describe the combinations of model and drawing graphics sheets that might be required by a customer. This material is being included in "ASME Y14.100 Engineering Drawing Practices", as it has broader applicability than is appropriate for ASME Y14.41.
