步骤三维CAD文件通常被分类为3D图像文件,并且这些步骤的3D CAD文件被集成用于STP文件格式编码规格。落实到这些STEP 3D CAD文件的文本格式标准也符合STEP应用协议ISO 10303-2xx。这些STEP 3D CAD文件是专门被称为包括用于机械CAD设计,数字3D元素的3D装配数据。这些STEP 3D CAD文件都保存在STP文件格式,并附加了的.stp扩展。这些STEP 3D CAD文件也被视为与这些STP文件的支持来实现机械CAD应用的三维产品模型数据交换文件。发明者融合CAD软件是由欧特克开发,并与这些STP文件的支持来实现。这意味着在基于Microsoft Windows的系统上运行的计算机可以被用来安装发明家融合CAD程序来实现支持到系统的创建,打开和查看这些STP文件的内容。

Dassault Systemes CATIA is an application that was programmed using C++. This software is used to design aircrafts, such as the mirage jet fighter. The CATIA program can be used in designing automotives, ships, plant designs and packaged goods. It can also be used in architecture, life science, construction, designing of new gadgets and industrial equipment. Catia can render 3D parts, sheet metal, tooling parts of mechanical assemblies in every detail, and this software aids in intelligent engineering systems. This software runs in Microsoft platforms like Windows Xp, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The Hard Drive should have at least 2 GB of available storage space.
