Abstract

This guide describes how to use the STEP File Analyzer, a software tool that generates a spreadsheet from a STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) file. The spreadsheets simplify inspecting information in the STEP file at an entity and attribute level. STEP files can also be checked for conformance to recommended practices for validation properties, graphical PMI, and semantic PMI.
