In April/May 2012, STEP Class Library was renamed to STEPcode. This was done
|
|
because the old name wasn't accurate - the class libraries are only a fraction
|
|
of the software.
|
|
|
|
The STEP Class Library (SCL) originated at the National Institute of Standards
|
|
and Technology, or NIST. NIST started working with STEP in the 80's and
|
|
continued until the late 90's. Some components of SCL were originally written
|
|
in Lisp and then re-written in mixed C and C++ in the early 90's.
|
|
The rest of SCL was written in C++ to begin with.
|
|
|
|
STEPcode (SC) includes the class libraries, some of the most widely used EXPRESS
|
|
schemas, some tools to work with EXPRESS, and support libraries for those tools.
|
|
Two of the tools can create schema-specific libraries that are used with the
|
|
class libraries. There are also some test files and programs.
