How convert XML to STEP(p21) format?

Question

I am new STEP and Express modeling. How can I convert XML data into STEP "p21" file using C++ bindings and CAA module? Where can I find a good tutorial for the EXPRESS modeling language? If I am missing something, suggest me to learn them. I would like someone to explain me the way we do it or show some guidelines to approach the problem.

Answer 1

You should definitively take a look at the CAA V5 Encyclopedia. The chapter about ENOVIA V5 contains several articles such as:

STEP Overview - Understanding STEP, Express, and SDAI

Building Components - How to build an Express schema

Generating the ENOV_DATAX Data Structure - How to migrate data to ENOVIA

... as well as a few use cases and quick API reference.

Since you must use the CAA, you also have the option take a course directly from Dassault Systèmes
