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.
