Definition
IDA-STEP stands for:Integrating Distributed Applications on the Basis of STEP Data Models.
IDA-STEP
• is completely based on JavaTM technology
• runs on top of the STEP toolkit JSDAITM
• is a major result of the IDA-STEP project, partly funded by the European Comission

What is an IGES file?
IGES (IGS) stands for Initial Graphics Exchange Specification, an ANSI graphics file format for three-dimensional wire frame models.

IGES Sections
• The file is divided into 5 Sections, indicated by a character (S, G, D, P, or T) in column 72. The characteristics and geometric information for an entity is split between two sections; one in a two record, fixed-length format (the Directory Entry, or DE Section), the other in a multiple record, comma delimited format (the Parameter Data, or PD Section). Here is a more human-readable representation of the file.
• When displayed, the user should see two yellow points (hard to see on a white background, but most CAD systems use a black background), one located at the origin of model space [0,0,0], two red circular arcs, and two green lines.
