In April 1999, the International Organization for Standards (ISO) voted to accept STEP AP 210 as an International Standard. After seven (7) years in development, numerous government contracts performing testing and validation and countless hours contributed by the developers from a number of fortune 100 companies, AP 210 has become a standard (ISO 10303-210). Boeing has been working on AP210 since its inception using various versions for internal and government projects. With the release of AP210 Boeing is now advancing its software prototypes to production. At the MUG 1998 a presentation was provided on the PWA/PWB Producibility Analysis using STEP AP210. This paper discusses the use of AP210 in the area of Printed Circuit Board Durability Analysis.
