Sub-committee 6 focus on mechanical engineering and two of its working groups met today.

SC 6/WG 22 discussed ongoing work on ISO 24351, addressing documentation and creation of design models. The group also explored a potential new project (ISO 25940) on digital twins (models synchronized with physical assets) to enable different types of virtual verification.

SC 6/WG 23 continued its work on projects related to finite element analysis (FEA) and design optimization. The latter aims to establish a series of standards supporting methods for finding optimized design solutions under defined conditions, including upcoming work on topology and parametric optimization of mechanical products.
