Convert STP to CATPRODUCT

What is STP file?

The STP (STEP 3D CAD File) is a file extension typically used in three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) programs related to 3D. The STP, or Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data, was first introduced by ISO 10303-21 and provides users with the ability to share 3D objects. In addition to the STP (STEP 3D CAD File), the same ISO 10303-21 standard also includes file extensions such as .IGS, .IAM, and .XLTRT. [ ⏩ ] STP file extension

What is CATPRODUCT file?

The CATPRODUCT .CATPRODUCT file extension is used by CATIA V5, a powerful 3D CAD design program. It is a 3D multi-body component file used for Assembly modules, for modeling everything from products to spaceships. A CATPRODUCT file provides capabilities that make reuse of design and assembly components easier, while components, sub-assemblies and assemblies are created within the same file, enabling the individual to transfer entire design data sets.

How to convert the file from STP to CATPRODUCT?

To successfully convert the STP file to CATPRODUCT, 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.STP). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CATPRODUCT (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 CATPRODUCT).

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. STP to CATPRODUCT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting STP files to CATPRODUCT 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 CATPRODUCT, while before this step we had the STP file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CATPRODUCT file, or not.
