A `.XMT_BIN` file is best described as a Parasolid "binary transmit" container, which transports the authentic model geometry from the Parasolid kernel rather than mesh or drawing data, producing a fast, size-efficient binary snapshot for CAD interoperability that isn’t interpretable in a normal text editor.
In everyday use, Parasolid transmit formats appear in two main extension groups—text (`.x_t`, `.xmt_txt`) and binary (`.x_b`, `.xmt_bin`)—with `.x_b` being today’s standard and `.xmt_bin` remaining an alternate tag, and you open such files by importing them into a CAD/CAE tool that supports Parasolid; if it only filters `. If you have any type of questions relating to where and how you can use
XMT_BIN file windows, you can call us at our own web-page. x_b`, renaming `.xmt_bin` to `.x_b` generally allows the program to load it because the internal structure is the same.
With an `.xmt_bin` file, your primary workflow is leveraging its Parasolid solid/surface geometry by importing it into CAD for part review, measurement, drawing generation, or additional feature work in programs like other Parasolid-based CAD, and likewise loading it into CAE environments such as ANSYS Workbench for meshing and running analyses.
If your goal is sharing with someone whose software can’t reliably read Parasolid, you can convert the file through your CAD exporter or a translator into formats like STEP for solid accuracy or legacy IGES for older surface workflows, or into mesh formats like STL when 3D printing or visualization is required—keeping in mind that
meshes lose true CAD surfaces and features; you can also import the file to run heal/stitch/repair tools before re-exporting a cleaner model, and as a diagnostic step you can export to Parasolid to see whether issues persist on import elsewhere, helping distinguish modeling problems from translation problems.
The two simplest ways to open an `.xmt_bin` file are either importing it directly as a Parasolid file in software that already supports Parasolid or renaming it to a more commonly accepted Parasolid-binary extension when the file picker is being strict, with the first method using File → Open/Import and selecting Parasolid to load the solid/surface model properly, and the second method involving copying and renaming the file to `.x_b` so programs that hide `.xmt_bin` still accept it as the same binary Parasolid format.
