What is NAVREP file?

The file in the NAVREP format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. CATIA Data Format 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 NAVREP file?

The main problem with CATIA Data Format is that the NAVREP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that NAVREP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NAVREP 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NAVREP with CATIA. Below you will find a list of applications that support NAVREP files.

Programs to open NAVREP file

Remember to download programs supporting NAVREP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CATIA with NAVREP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NAVREP file still does not use the CATIA program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CATIA application as the default for handling the NAVREP file.

Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CATIA program, it is possible that CATIA Data Format requires a newer version of the program. 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.

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The NAVREP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NAVREP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NAVREP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NAVREP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NAVREP file. 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.
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 NAVREP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NAVREP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 NAVREP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NAVREP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NAVREP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
