STEP is a standard used in data transfer between these enterprises. SADT is a graphical representation and in a VE is used to elaborate diagrams to improve VE management and STEP performances. PDM can be defined as: electronic handling and control of product information throughout the whole product life cycle across system and organization boundaries by means of vaulting, workflow, and product structures. The goal of this paper is to elaborate the SADT diagrams for the product information  and transfer used in VE.
