Is SOLIDWORKS similar to CATIA?

CATIA and Solidworks are owned by the same company and do many of the same things. CATIA is primarily focused on surface modeling, and tends to be used by the automotive and aerospace industry more often than not. Solidworks is 3D parts and assembly modeling.

How do I create a STEP file in CATIA?

Head to Tools > Options > General > Compatibility > STEP. Make sure that “3D annotations” is enabled in the General section. Under Export, set the Application Protocol to either AP203 ed2, AP214 ed3, or AP242. Now, the 3D Annotation data is saved in the STEP files.

What is Catpart file?

The . catpart file extension was created by the 3D CAD manufacturing application called CATIA V5 – catpart (or “CATPart”) is used to store part models and includes 3D geometrical and structural data. These catpart files can also be combined with additional parts and info in order to create a catproduct assembly file.
