Information Modeling with STEP and EXPRESS
2 day class, contact STEP Tools
for the current tuition cost
The EXPRESS information modeling language is widely used inside and outside
of STEP to describe object-oriented information models for Concurrent
Engineering, Mechanical and Electrical Products, Asset Management, Laboratory
Analysis, Geological Modeling and other applications. This course introduces
the student to information modeling, the EXPRESS language and its companion
EXPRESS-G. Demonstrations and class exercises are included in the course.
Workshop Topics
- Information Modeling
- EXPRESS and STEP
- EXPRESS Basics
- EXPRESS-G Basics
- STEP usage of EXPRESS
- Advanced Concepts & XML
- Software Tools
