PRT

A PRT format is used to store components of 3D CAD models. It may contain lines, surfaces, textures, dimensions, and metadata.

The .prt extension is mostly associated with the Siemens NX Part (PRT) file type as an acronym for "part". PRT files may be exported to various standard CAD and 3D modeling formats (e.g. OBJ and STL) in addition to being utilized natively in Siemens NX.

The PRT file is also a part created by PTC Creo Parametric 3D software. In PTC Creo, project part files can be combined in a single assembly file with an ASM extension.

Despite the same extension name different CAD software produce PRT files differently, i.e. PRT files produced with Creo are not the same as PRT files generated from NX.

The PRT extension is also compatible with Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS.

Tekla, owned by Trimble is a software product family that consists of programs for analysis and design. Tekla software includes several applications.

Tekla Structures is 3D BIM software widely used in the building and construction industries. The software allows users to create and operate 3D structural models in concrete or steel and leads them through the process from concept to fabrication.

Tekla Structural Designer is a software app for analysis and construction design. It is used by structural engineers.

Tekla Tedds is a software solution for automating repetitive calculations. It is used in engineering for creating output such as calculations, sketches and notes.

Tekla BIMsight is an application for building information model-based construction project collaboration.

Everything you need to know about CAD file formats

A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.
