What is a .CATPART file?
CATPART is a single-part model from CATIA. Created and opened by Dassault Systemes CATIA.
- Did you know
- CATIA is high-end CAD used to design aircraft and cars, including much of the Boeing 777.
- CATIA stands for “Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application” and began as an in-house tool at French aircraft maker Avions Marcel Dassault.
- A CATPart holds a single component; CATIA keeps multi-part assemblies in a separate CATProduct file that references them.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify CAD files and read header metadata: AutoCAD DWG (DXF now opens as a 2D drawing preview - see Diagrams), SolidWorks (SLDPRT, SLDASM, plus .sldreg Settings Wizard backups - release year, settings groups and the saved registry keys - and SOLIDWORKS Visualize .svap appearances and .svpj projects, opened as the ZIP packages they are), Fusion 360 (F3D), Inventor (IPT, IAM), Rhino (3DM) and Grasshopper (GH, GHX), SketchUp (SKP), 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya, CATIA, Eagle, and KiCad.
- Depth of analysis
- .CATPART is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .CATPART file
- Drag a .CATPART file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
