The CATProduct file format is associated with CATIA V5 assembly format and is used to simulate industrial design processes.
Unlike CATPart files, CATProduct does not contain any geometric information, only model parts, and assembly structure information. Nevertheless, single CATPart files can be generated from CATProduct assembly.
The CATPart extension is compatible with Autodesk Inventor / Fusion 360, and Okino Computer PolyTrans software.
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.
