The SAT file extension is associated with a 3-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design) model created by Autodesk ACIS SAT software. The purpose of the SAT format was to unify multiple 3-dimensional CAD formats in order to simplify computer aided design workflows. By using this format, CAD models can be saved and transported across different design platforms while retaining precision and detailed surface features.
Technical Details
The SAT format is made up of Binary data including the shape, feature, material information, as well as visualization data which can then be rendered by 3D graphic programs. Files stored in this format can range in size from under 1KB up to several MB depending on the complexity of the model. This format also supports third party applications through its Application Programming Interface (API) which helps enable tight integration with the application.
Similar file extensions are CATPART, CATPRODUCT, and SMS, all of which are associated with the Autodesk ACIS modeling software.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SAT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SAT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SAT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SAT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SAT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SAT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SAT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SAT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SAT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SAT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
