What is meant by Standard parts libraries?
"Standard Parts Libraries" refer to digital collections of standardized components used in design and manufacturing processes. These standard parts comply with national or international standards (such as DIN, ISO, ANSI) and are essential in many technical fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and construction. Standard parts libraries provide designers and engineers with an efficient way to access standardized parts and integrate them into their designs and projects.
Typical software functions in the area of "Standard Parts Libraries" include:
- Parts catalogs and search: Extensive catalogs of standard parts with search functions based on criteria such as size, material, and standard.
- 3D models and CAD integration: Provision of 3D models of standard parts that can be directly imported and used in CAD software.
- Datasheets and specifications: Access to technical datasheets and specifications of standard parts to aid in selection and usage.
- Classification and standards management: Management and classification of standard parts according to the relevant standards.
- Bill of materials (BOM) management: Creation and management of bills of materials that include standard parts.
- Cost calculation: Support in project cost calculation by integrating standard parts into budget planning.
- Supplier information: Provision of information about suppliers offering the relevant standard parts.
- Updates and standards changes: Regular updates to the standard parts database to accommodate changes in standards.
