API in Java for STEP (p21) - to create STEP compliant files

Question

I'm interested in writing Java to automate the creation of 3D STEP files (CAD format).

There seems to be something for C++ (https://github.com/stepcode/stepcode). There seem to be Java implementations of 3D CAD software (http://brlcad.org/).

However, I don't see an API / Package / Class Library anywhere to build STEP files using Java.

Ideas?

Can I generate 3D model using JSDAI? – Shiladittya Chakraborty Nov 06 '15 at 12:57
What do you mean by "generate 3D model"? – user3015252 Nov 07 '15 at 19:00
We can draw 3D shape using STEP file. There are many desktop version software available in the market. But I want to draw 3D model in WEB. That only possible if I read step data and draw model from this file. – Shiladittya Chakraborty Nov 08 '15 at 06:13
There are many web (browser-only) viewers for 3D models in STEP files, such as GrabCAD. If you want to see example source code, look at pythonocc.org. – user3015252 Nov 10 '15 at 00:15

BIMserver and its friends in Open Source BIM](https://github.com/opensourceBIM) can easily handle this problem without writing a single line of code.
