This capability level is the first level to begin to effectivly use the 3D Model. While the drawing is still the master it is now associated to the modeland managed together. It is also the first level to begin to reuse the CAD data, all be it through exported nuetral files. This level also begins to reduce error rate and time to mission due to the reuse of data.

Summary:

  • Drawings are the master
  • 3D models are associated to the drawing
  • Initial reuse of the model data through exported neutral formats (i.e. STEP and IGES)
  • The TDP is manually created
  • There is little or no connectivity with the extended enterprise
  • Little use of Product Lifecycle Management tools
