Abstract
The Product Data Exchange using STEP (PDES) is an emerging standard for the exchange of product information among various manufacturing applications. PDES includes an information model written in the Express language; other PDES-related information models are also written in Express. The National PDES Testbed at NIST has developed software to manipulate and translate Express models. This software consists of an in-memory working form and an associated Express language parser, Fed-X. The design and capabilities of Fed- X and the Express Working Form are discussed.Citation
