Abstract
Results from a European collaborative project to create an open system for engineering design, with particular emphasis toward electromagnetic devices, are presented. The system, code named MEDAS, is based on the new ISO STEP standard for data exchange and utilises state-of-the-art Graphical User interfaces, 3D Geometric Modelling and three-dimensional automatic mesh generation with an advanced 2D subset
