Files with .CATPART extension contain 3D CAD/CAM/CAE model parts and structured data associated with them. CATPART files are saved in a proprietary format developed by CATIA. CATPART files constitute a larger project or a functional element of such project created using CATIA V5.
U3D extension files belong to the category of graphic files. The content of files with the U3D extension includes three-dimensional models.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CATPART file after converting to U3D may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CATPART to U3D to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CATPART to U3D does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CATPART format, properly converted to a U3D file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CATPART the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CATPART file to other than U3D. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CATPART file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to U3D on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CATPART file in its original format (without conversion to U3D file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
