Team

AP 210 is the product of decades of collaborative work by researchers, engineers, and standards professionals from industry, government, and academia.

ISO TC 184/SC 4

AP 210 is developed and maintained under ISO Technical Committee 184, Subcommittee 4 (Industrial data), the same body responsible for the entire STEP (ISO 10303) family of standards.

Key Contributors

The following individuals have made significant contributions to AP 210 development and its supporting research:

  • Dr. Jamie Stori — AP 210 project leadership and standards development

  • Allison Barnard Feeney — NIST research leadership and standards methodology

  • Michael Keenan — NIST research engineering and implementation

  • Kevin Brady — NIST strategic direction for STEP standards

NIST

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been instrumental in AP 210’s development through:

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for thermal management

  • Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) for electronic connectors and packages

  • SPICE integration with AP210 mechanical design models

  • Reference implementations and validation test cases

PDES Inc.

PDES Inc. is an industry-government consortium that advances the development and implementation of STEP standards. Their AP 210 contributions include:

  • AP210 Viewer development and testing

  • IDF-to-AP210 conversion tools

  • Training materials and educational resources

  • Standards validation and test case development

The PDES Electrical Project Team

The broader PDES Electrical project team has contributed extensively to the development and validation of AP 210 through test case development, interoperability testing, and implementation feedback.
