I have been studying extensively about the STEPcode and found that it is extremely useful for data sharing and archiving so far Materials Database Project is concerned. Like Charlie Stirk mentioned recently, the BRL-CAD translator for STEP, based on STEPcode, could be expanded to support the CAX-IF material identification capability, which can be a key to material properties.
As Materials Database is being built with a view of helping BRL-CAD, it would be even more satisfactory if the import / export functionality is implemented using STEP. I have preserved the whole nectar of what I have learnt till now in the link below: http://coderalbert.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/stepiso-10303-21/ Though I earlier mentioned STEP support as a Mediawiki's add-on but now I feel it should be included in my basic design. -- Thanks Albert www.coderalbert.wordpress.com "If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time." ― Steve Jobs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
