Abstract :
The ISO standard “STEP” provides a complete representation of a product along with a description language, EXPRESS, and methods for the exchange of these product data. This paper presents the methodology that was adopted while creating a prototype of an electromagnetism dedicated database manager, meant to support STEP compliant exchanges. The STEP architecture and mechanisms are described. The resulting Java application has been tested through neutral file generation and reading
