STEPcode (formerly NIST's STEP Class Library) is used with IFC, STEP, and other standards that utilize the technologies of ISO10303 (STEP). It generates C++ and Python from EXPRESS (10303-11) schemas. The code is capable of reading and writing STEP Part 21 exchange files. It also utilizes Parts 22 and 23 (SDAI and its C++ binding).

stepcode's Introduction
***********************************************************************
STEPcode v0.7 -- stepcode.org, github.com/stepcode/stepcode
* What is STEPcode? SC reads ISO10303-11 EXPRESS schemas and generates
C++ source code that can read and write Part 21 files conforming
to that schema. In addition to C++, SC includes experimental
support for Python.
* Renamed in April/May 2012: SC was formerly known as STEP Class
Libraries, SCL for short. It was renamed because the name wasn't
accurate: the class libraries make up only a part of the code.
* Much of the work to update SC has been done by the developers of
BRL-CAD, and SC (then STEP Class Library) was originally created at
NIST in the 90's.
* For information on changes version-by-version, see the NEWS file
* Building and testing SCL - see the INSTALL file
* For more details on the libraries and executables, see the wiki:

* For license details, see the COPYING file. Summary: 3-clause BSD.

CODING STANDARDS
SC's source has been reformatted with astyle. When making changes, try
to match the current formatting. The main points are:
- compact (java-style) brackets:
if( a == 3 ) {
c = 5;
function( a, b );
} else {
somefunc( );
}
- indents are 4 spaces
- no tab characters
- line endings are LF (linux), not CRLF (windows)
- brackets around single-line conditionals
- spaces inside parentheses and around operators
- return type on the same line as the function name, unless that's
too long
- doxygen-style comments
(see http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/docblocks.html)
If in doubt about a large patch, run astyle with the config file
misc/astyle.cfg.
Download astyle from http://sourceforge.net/projects/astyle/files/astyle/
