The name for a part that is nested underneath an assembly in an input STEP file is not the same name that the freecad python API sees when the STEP is loaded into HEAT. So for some reason the name changes (usually to COMPOUND) when the step is loaded. This has been happening specifically for STEPs exported from NX, have not checked other CAD programs.
The solution is to open the STEP file in FreeCAD GUI and then save it as a .FCStd file. Using the .FCStd file instead of the STEP file in HEAT preserves the part names.
Keeping this issue open until either a) freecad is fixed or b) a workaround in HEAT is proposed. In the meantime users can save as a FCStd file to circumvent the issue.
