ISO/TS 10303-1633:2006 specifies the application module for Assembly 3D shape.

ISO/TS 10303-1633:2006 deals with the representation of the information needed to describe the different aspects of how components are joined together to make an assembly. ISO/TS 10303-1633:2006 defines the information needed to describe the material used in making the physical connections and their typical shape. ISO/TS 10303-1633:2006 provides a mechanism for a design organization to make explicit assertions about the detailed joints that are implemented in the physical design. The representation is in a three dimensional context. Predefined shape classes of extrusion and manhattan shapes are provided. External classification of the shape may also be used. Predefined and externally defined purposes for the shape are provided.

The following are within the scope of ISO/TS 10303-1633:2006:
