The CATSYSTEM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CATSYSTEM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CATSYSTEM file on each system platform.
What is CATSYSTEM file?
The file in the CATSYSTEM format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. It was designed by Dassault Systèmes S.A.. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. CATIA Functional Systems appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use CATIA to handle this file. This is a program created by Dassault Syst?mes S.A..
How to open CATSYSTEM file?
The most common problem when using CATIA Functional Systems is that a specific CATSYSTEM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CATSYSTEM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CATSYSTEM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install CATIA
The first step is to check if the computer has the CATIA program installed. This can be achieved by typing CATIA into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support CATSYSTEM files.
Programs to open CATSYSTEM file
Remember to download programs supporting CATSYSTEM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CATIA with CATSYSTEM files
If, despite the installed application, the CATSYSTEM file does not start in the CATIA application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CATSYSTEM file with the CATIA program.
Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version
If, however, after binding CATIA with CATIA Functional Systems there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dassault Syst?mes S.A. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CATSYSTEM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CATSYSTEM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CATSYSTEM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CATSYSTEM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CATSYSTEM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CATSYSTEM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Dassault Systèmes S.A.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CATSYSTEM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CATSYSTEM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CATSYSTEM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CATSYSTEM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
