CATIA CATfct data
File type: 3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file
A CATfct file contains CATIA CATfct data used by Dassault Systèmes CATIA.
It is a specialized CAD/CAM/CAE data file associated with CATIA rather than a general-purpose 3D model file.

CATIA, developed by Dassault Systèmes, is computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering software for Microsoft Windows and Unix. A CATfct file stores data used by CATIA.
The CATfct format is intended to support CATIA operations and may be used as a CATIA-managed data resource rather than as a standalone model.
CATfct files are associated with CATIA, and their practical use remains closely tied to the program rather than unrelated CAD applications.
Use CATIA on Microsoft Windows to work with a CATfct file. Depending on how the file is used, CATIA may access it through the relevant command or as supporting data rather than opening it as a normal document.
If CATIA does not recognize the file when it is double-clicked, start CATIA first and use the application's appropriate file or resource management function.
CATIA may be able to export CATfct files to other formats.
When a CATfct file supports a CATIA model or workflow, use CATIA's own export or save-as functions on the resulting supported document. These functions do not necessarily convert the CATfct data itself.
