Abstract: The characteristics of concurrent product development is analyzed and an integrated framework for product data integration of concurrent engineering is presented. A feature-based information model referred to STEP AP214 for the concurrent engineering application subsystems is proposed. As the ST-Developer tools used, the information integration between CAD and DFM/CAPP/CAM/CAFD is realized to get manufacturing features from CAD through standard data access interface. The Delta file management tool of STEP-Developer is used to enable product data management for design regeneration.

Key words: Concurrent engineering, Design regeneration management, Information integration, Product data model, STEP
