What is a .Model file?
A .model file is a part from older versions of CATIA.
- Did you know
- The .model format dates from CATIA version 4, before CATPart took over.
- CATIA is Dassault Systèmes’ computer-aided design suite, and the .model file is the part format from its version 4 generation.
- Version 5 replaced it with separate .CATPart and .CATProduct files, though V5 can still read the older .model data.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify more 3D, CAD and scene files: Google Draco compressed meshes, Gaussian splats (KSplat), Universal 3D, Dassault 3DXML, DirectX .x models, Qubicle voxels, Wings3D, Autodesk Revit (RVT/RFA and templates, build version from BasicFileInfo), Siemens Solid Edge, Navisworks, legacy CATIA V4, terrestrial-scanner point clouds (FARO/Trimble) and legacy binary Visio (.vsd).
- Depth of analysis
- .Model 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 .Model file
- Drag a .Model 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.
