LOTAR International’s Engineering Analysis and Simulation Working Group and NAFEMS have issued a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in assisting CAE vendors to accelerate the development and implementation of the Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (ISO 10303), usually referred to as STEP, and to capture engineering analyses for long term archiving and retrieval (LOTAR).

Initial efforts will focus on fostering the development of interfaces for the ISO STEP AP209 edition 2 “Multidisciplinary analysis and design” standard.
