What is asm file?
File type category:
Source code and script file
Date updated: January 2, 2025
File extension asm is associated with programs written in assembly language, a low level programming language, which can be converted to another machine language.
The asm files can be be edited with a text editor and run using an assembler program, such as HLA, MASM, FASM, NASM, or GAS.
Typically a modern assembler creates object code by translating assembly instruction mnemonics into opcodes, and by resolving symbolic names for memory locations and other entities. The use of symbolic references is a key feature of assemblers, saving tedious calculations and manual address updates after program modifications. Most assemblers also include macro facilities for performing textual substitution—e.g., to generate common short sequences of instructions to run inline, instead of in a subroutine.
Assemblers are generally simpler to write than compilers for high-level languages, and have been available since the 1950s. Modern assemblers, especially for RISC based architectures, such as MIPS, Sun SPARC and HP PA-RISC, optimize instruction scheduling to exploit the CPU pipeline efficiently.
Since assembly code is typically more difficult to write than C or C++ code, the asm files are often combined with other C or C++ script files, which will handle the majority of the application logic.

Solid Edge assembly data
File type category:
3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file
Date updated: July 12, 2024
The asm file extension is also related to Solid Edge, a powerful 3D CAD software that allows manufacturing companies to transform their process of innovation and achieve competitive advantage.
The asm file contains assembly data, i.e. one or more parts (often .prt) assembled into a whole component.
Note: Several older 3D modeling tools (Pro/Engineer) also used .asm files for their assemblies, but these typically were in unique format. Most of these programs are discontinued or replaced, but support for them remains.
How to open asm file?
Ise Solid Edge to open and work with this type of .asm files.
How to convert asm file?
Many 3D modeling / CAD programs nowadays support Solid Edge formats, so a conversion or export to exchange format is defnitely possible.
