A SAT file stores three-dimensional geometry information in a standard text file format. SAT files are used to exchange 3D data across programs. SAT file extension stands for Standard ACIS Text. A SAT file has three-dimensional geometry information stored in a standard text file format. SAT files are used in industries such as computer-aided design, shipbuilding, 3D animation, and computer-aided engineering.
The geometry information in a SAT file is saved in Spatial’s ACIS solid modeling format as ASCII text. The same information can be saved in binary as a SAB file. Many 3D CAD programs support SAT files provided they have Spatial’s 3D ACIS component. SAT files are commonly used to exchange 3D model data across different programs.
Problems opening a SAT file may relate to an incomplete download or insufficient access rights. Try downloading the file again or log into an account with administrative privileges, then attempt to open the file. If problems continue, install and associate programs that support the SAT format. A number of 3D CAD programs can open SAT files.
