The product interface steel construction of the German Association of Steel Construction (DSTV) is a relatively new data exchange format of all the programs participating in a production process. In a standardized format, it contains the data exchange between e.g. CAD and static programs, PPS-systems or DCC-machines and ideally is meant to replace the previous formats after good long testing.

File Format: ASCII-text file with the extension *.stp

The interface format was revised several times in the past. OpenBridge Modeler is only supporting the latest valid version.
