.STEP FIle ??
 

Got a request for quoting IBIS model creation, and the potential
client sent his data in .STEP file format.

I have no clue what that is.

I've made IBIS models from PWL files (which I suspect .STEP might be a
form of) and, of course, Spice files.

Any ideas?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

STEP is usually a 3D solid-model mechanical file. It's ASCII and
typically huge. Things like SolidWorks can open STEP files.

It would be very weird for anything electrical to be expresssed in a
STEP file.

(unless someone reused the filename extension)

There is a free app at the bottom you can down load to view
those files. you Also need to install the component they are
harping about..

read to the end..

Yep. Methinks customer expects that an electrical model can be made
from a mechanical drawing.

STEP is usually mechanical, but the file format is sufficiently
abstract that it might be used for other things. I've never seen it
used for anything but 3D mechanical models.

Yep, thats a CAD interchange format.
Maybe the schematic was drawn in a 3d cad package.

Stranger things have happened, like using Autocad to lay out PC
boards.

Here's the standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303

Here's what part of the header of a STEP file I made recently in
SolidWorks looks like:


ISO-10303-21;
HEADER;
FILE_DESCRIPTION (( 'STEP AP214' ),
'1' );
FILE_NAME ('LTST_C230_Lite_On_Reverse_Mount_LED_Blue.STEP',
'2014-02-26T05:13:30',
( '' ),
( '' ),
'SwSTEP 2.0',

(and another 230K of stuff)

It is a 3D color solid model of an LED package. Unfortunately, it does
not seem to preserve transparency.

That's useful, an opaque LED.

It's just a model to see what the PCB will look like and to make sure
there are no collisions with the case features. But you knew that.

The real LEDs are water clear, but I tinted them the color of the
emitted light.

Don't know why they put the die off-center. I guess it doesn't much
matter if there is no lens.
