In a Model Based Enterprise the digital thread needs to expand throughout the product lifecycle and into adjacent domains. MBD data after it has been authored takes upon a life of itself as its used throughout many domains downstream of engineering; like 3D Visualization used in manufacturing, training, simulation, etc. MBD data needs to efficiently be managed and integrate with these downstream domains. In this presentation I will provide an overview of use cases, requirements, and a case study of downstream 3D Visualization and the advanced technologies around it critical to a Model Based Enterprise. In this case study I will discuss challenges, lessons learned and our approach to integrating MBD data to downstream visualization use cases. I will showcase the importance of of 3D Visualization data standards and their interoperability between MBD standards like STEP AP242 and glTF and OpenUSD. I will highlight gaps, challenges and opportunities how visualization standards can integrate in a Model Based Enterprise. 3D Visualization and the advanced technologies enabling new methods of interactivity and usability with MBD data are critical to the future of digital engineering and manufacturing. Enabling interoperability of MBD data into these domains is essential to capturing the value of these technology domains.
