How to open CATPART file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CATPART 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

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CATPART.
Programs to open CATPART file
Remember to download programs supporting CATPART files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CATIA with CATPART files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CATPART file still does not use the CATIA program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CATPART file with the CATIA application.
Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CATIA program with the CATIA V5 Part Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 CATPART file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CATPART file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CATPART files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CATPART file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CATPART files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CATPART file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CATPART files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Dassault Systemes help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CATPART files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CATPART file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CATPART file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CATPART file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
