Hi Kelal,

Indeed it's a known issue with the STEP exporter. Let's continue the discussion 
here:

https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh/-/issues/624

We currently create a single compound for the model, and use the 
"STEPControl_AsIs" OpenCASCADE option to export STEP files. It's maybe not what 
we should do...
