STEP/EXPRESS tools for .NET

Question

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with using the STEP and EXPRESS formats in a .Net environment?

I am looking for a tool that will generate a c# class structure based on an EXPRESS schema. I would also like the tool to create a parser/file generator for importing and exporting to STEP-files.

Does anyone know of a tool that does this? Any tools that will bring me closer to my own implementation would also be useful.

Thanks

Answer 1

Hi, There is a list of tools you might be interested in on the PDES website. Some of these tools allows for example to generate a XML representation of your EXPRESS schema. It might then be easier to implement your tool from there.

It looks like Open CASCADE is open source and developed in a .NET environment.

Answer 2

While not .Net, if you are interested in higher-level tools based on open cascade, you should take a look at pythonocc.
