HI Everybody

I am relatively new to step files. I was searching to find a CAD/CAM package which will export the geometric Data of a model into STEP Files either to AP224 or AP238.
I have tried with CATIA v5, Solidworks 2015, Creo 3.0.
These modelling packages only give the option of AP203, AP203 ed2, AP214.

kindly share the info about some package which can do the task.

Regards

Hi Prabal,

The majority of CAD/CAM software such as CATIA V5 can generate only B-rep representation such as STEP AP203, or STEP AP2014 ( including tolerances).  Try this:

Design a part in CATIA v5, save the part as STEP AP203, download the software (STEP NC Machine) from the link below, and open the STEP AP203, next, save the file with this software as AP238.

For AP224, in my opinion, only some CAPP systems developed by researchers can generate AP224. 



Best regards
