Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-31000A evaluation of the ability of the design approach to meet specified requirements and enable the development, manufacture and testing of prototype or experimental materiel. 3.1.18 Drawing. An engineering document or digital data file(s) that discloses (directly or by reference), by means of graphic or textual presentations, or by combinations of both, the physical or functional requirements of an item. (ASME Y14.100) 3.1.19 Drawing format. The arrangement and organization of information within a drawing is called drawing format.
This includes such features as the size and arrangement of blocks, notes, lists, revision information, and the use of optional or supplemental blocks. (ASME Y14.1) 3.1.20 End product. An end product is an item, such as an individual part or assembly, in its final or completed state. (ASME Y14.24). An end product is also known as an end item. 3.1.21 Limited design disclosure model. A Computer Aided Design (CAD) 3-Dimensional model sufficiently defined to provide a visual understanding of the item, but which does not contain full design disclosure. Generally key interface characteristics and features such as weight and center of gravity will be sufficiently defined for the intended purpose.
Sometimes referred to as a shrink-wrap, visualization, or cosmetic model. 3.1.22 Metadata. Metadata is generally defined to be data about data. For the purpose of this standard, Metadata is defined to be data about a design and its defining documents/models. Metadata is used by the Procuring Activity to store, manage, and provide access to TDP elements. 3.1.23 Non-Government standardization document. A standardization document developed by a private sector association, organization or technical society which plans, develops, establishes or coordinates standards, specifications, handbooks or related documents. Company standards are not considered as non-Government standardization documents.
3.1.24 Performance specification. A specification that states requirements in terms of the required results with criteria for verifying compliance, but without stating the methods for achieving the required results. A performance specification defines the functional requirements for the item, the environment in which it must operate, and interface and interchangeability characteristics. Both defense specifications and program-unique specifications may be designated as a performance specification. (MIL-STD-961) 3.1.25 Procuring Activity.
The Government or private organization which establishes the requirements for an end item, service or set of data, and is responsible for the issuance of a contract or solicitation for these goods or services. 3.1.26 Product drawings. Engineering drawings which provide the design, engineering, manufacturing and quality support information necessary to permit a competent manufacturer to produce an interchangeable item which duplicates the physical and performance characteristics of the original design without additional design engineering or recourse to the design activity. 3.1.27 Product model data.
A 3 dimensional (3D) geometric representation of a design that includes digital information required for full product definition. 7
