[Gmsh] SolidWorks tagging elementary entities

[Max Orok]

Hi Charles,

There's support for reading STEP label and colour information, which you
could map to Gmsh physical groups.
Here is an example of using labels as physical groups:
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/-/blob/master/demos/api/step_assembly.py
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/-/blob/master/demos/api/as1-tu-203.stp

It is still a little bit tricky, here are some related issues that might be
helpful:

Sincerely,
Max
