Read *.Stp file with MATLAB

[Bilal]

Hi all,
Anyone have an idea how can i write Matlab script to read STP file
(CATIA: CAO MODEL) ?
I was looking for ISO-10303-21. the description of file is so long and
i can't find how ISO-10303-21 write STP file

Could somebody help me? I really have no idea!

Regards,

Thank you Meriam for quick response,

Maybe i was not clear to describe my problem, reading file as *.txt is
not problem for me, but how can i explore data of this file i think
that's a prob.
to do that, i should know how STP file is white ? i was looking this
the wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303-21
it's complicate to script out the informations !
thx
Bilal

Step is a complex format. You would probably do better to use an
existing library that can read STEP and turn it into geometry and
materials, and then try to interface MATLAB to that.
