What is a .EXP file?

EXP is an export/exchange file from CATIA CAD.

Did you know
  • EXP was used to move data in and out of older CATIA systems.
  • An EXP is a CATIA V4 export that can act as a container holding several models at once, alongside the .model and .dlv files.
  • Because CATIA V4 amassed a huge user base, its EXP format remains widely importable into other CAD systems.

Depth of analysis
.EXP 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.
