Convert 3DXML to CATPART

What is 3DXML file?

The 3DXML file extension is associated with a 3D XML format used in various software developed by Dassault Systemes. The 3D XML format is an application of the XML language to 3D objects and it stores the data related to the coordinates, topology, geometry, materials and colors of 3D models. The 3D models are embedded in an XML document. This type of file is used for interchange data between different applications which supports 3D modeling as an integrated part of their functions.

What is CATPART file?

CATPART file extensions indicate CAD files created specifically with CATIA V5, a type of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software from Dassault Systèmes. This CAD software is used for the design and creation of virtual 3D models as well as their production in industry fields like aerospace engineering, shipbuilding, and architecture. The software is comprised of multiple components that work together for a more comprehensive approach to creating complex 3D models. [ ⏩ ] CATPART file extension

How to convert the file from 3DXML to CATPART?

To successfully convert the 3DXML file to CATPART, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.3DXML). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CATPART (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CATPART).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 3DXML to CATPART. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting 3DXML files to CATPART files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CATPART, while before this step we had the 3DXML file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CATPART file, or not.
