Overall Requirements for Service Provision within the Framework ofComponent Development

Preface

This standard replaces Volkswagen standard VW 01154 "Development Conditions; General Re‐quirements".This standard is based on the VDA volume "VDA Automotive Standard Guideline - Component Re‐quirement Specification" (http://www.vda-qmc.de/; Module 1 "Universal Content") and describes uni‐versal requirements on service provision within the framework of component development. Operatingfluids, such as engine and transmission oils, brake fluids or coolants are standard parts within thiscontext; they shall be treated like components. VDA module 2 "Component requirement specificationfor mechanical and electrical/electronic scopes" describes component-specific requirements for thedevelopment of components, modules and parts; it is reproduced in the Component PerformanceSpecifications template available within the Volkswagen Group.The relevant Component Performance Specifications (BT-LAH, German abbreviation) in conjunctionwith this standard form the basis of the contractor's duties.

Especially, the two PerformanceSpecifications supplements for CATIA V5 and DMU shall be complied with in a compulsory manner.Supplement in lastparagraph:To ensure the Purchaser's worldwide networked development process, a simplified geometrical description without limita‐tions concerning its use shall be provided if necessary.

7.2 DMU requirementsChanges and supplement:To ensure comprehensive use of DMU, the DMU requirements of the guideline "CAD/CAM Data Exchange with the Volks‐wagen Group", guidelines and instructions issued by the engineering departments or for each individual project as well asthe general guidelines described in this Section shall be observed. In addition, compliance with further specific guidelinesfor Design Engineering of Audi is mandatory. These are exclusively available in the CAD Information Center in the AudiEngineering Portal at https://engineering-portal.audi.web.vwg and shall be implemented without restrictions. Especially thesupplements to Performance Specifications on DMU contained therein shall be complied with in a compulsory manner.Deletion of sub-sections 7.2.1 to 7.2.6 as they are contained in the CAD/CAM guideline in identical form (deletion of redun‐dancies):7.2.1 Integration and objective of DMU in the PEPThe DMU zone manager shall report the current product status for each milestone in the DMU to the project management.Releases can only be granted when compatibility with the current environment has been verified by the DMU.7.2.2 Requirements on 3-D CAD data for DMU verificationIn order to currently update the development DMU, the following 3-D CAD data types relating to the corresponding workstatus are required:P = package data (package dummies)- K = concept data- S = standard-production dataThis is to ensure that every component can be checked in the DMU with respect to its current environment before the agreedrelease date, in order to verify the actual release.- Package data: Simple volume models and placeholders that describe the required packaging space- Concept data: Volume and surface models, which include the technical function and mounting- Standard production data: Complete volume or surface models which describe standard-production parts (according to VW01059)The contractor as developer or development supplier must provide the required 3-D CAD data to the purchaser's designengineer (or the work statuses for examinations at short notice in the current environment) and report the degree of maturityof the CAD data as well as the application (e.g. DMU data freeze, concept data) on the deadlines agreed with the DMU zonemanager/module coordinator (= data freeze for DMU zone evaluation in the context of the active DMU zone management)or on call if required.7.2.3 EnvelopesFor moved or moving components, the travel ranges of the components shall be supplemented in the form of dynamicgeometric envelopes in 3-D CAD in coordination with the purchaser's design engineer. It shall be ensured that the agreedenvelopes correspond to the configured DMU vehicle structure. o prevent unnecessary modifications of the envelopes incase of changes, the envelopes shall be subdivided into reasonable sub-assemblies.The THD or the THS product data types shall be used.7.2.4 Current DMU environment at the contractorIn order that the contractor is able to observe the current test environment from the developed DMU, the contractor mayrequest the required data from the purchaser.7.2.5 Assembly and disassembly simulations using DMUOperating equipment including fastening elements shall be considered during DMU examinations. The operating equipmentshall be provided in the form of 3-D data in the KVS system by the purchaser's Manufacturing Planning department. For useof standard and multi-use parts, see Section 12.7.2.6 Positioning of componentsThe specific guidelines available in the CAD Information Center in the Audi Engineering Portal at https://engineering-por‐tal.audi.web.vwg shall apply for Audi Design Engineering, for all other Group members, the following rule shall apply:In the case of components that are used at several locations in the vehicle and as such have to be positioned several times,data exchange between contractor and purchaser is performed using a transformation matrix (data for component positions).This also applies to COPs (e.g., switches) that have to be transferred from the as-designed position into the vehicle position(for DMU examination).The contractor provides the complete information concerning the data position. Accordingly, when the contractor transfersdata to the purchaser, the positioning information shall be saved separately from the geometrical data. The product datatype TMP (Teilmodellpositionsinformation = part model positioning information) shall be used for data storage in KVS. TheTMP data record must contain the coordinate axes of the as-installed positions for each vehicle.Later, also data storage in the respective DMU project is performed by the contractor.The TMP files are saved under the part number in KVS (in the design status (K-status) combination, the TMP is combinedwith the associated part model (TM) to form the design status). Variants can be distinguished by means of vehicle alternatives.The TMP is used to position the component in the VPM (displace the model in CATIA with MOVE). The positioned model isstored in the PSN tree of the VPM in correct positional arrangement.
