A `.XMT_BIN` file usually refers to a Parasolid binary transmit object containing solid and surface geometry directly from the Parasolid kernel, enabling cleaner transfers between Parasolid-based CAD systems by packaging the true model definition into a compact binary exchange file that can’t be understood in a text editor.

Practically speaking, Parasolid transmit files show up as two extension pairs: `.x_t`/`.xmt_txt` for text and `.x_b`/`.xmt_bin` for binary, with `.x_b` now the more frequent choice although `.xmt_bin` still circulates, and opening the file involves importing it into software that understands Parasolid; when only `.x_b` is listed, copying and renaming `.xmt_bin` to `.x_b` usually works since importers read the binary Parasolid content regardless of the label.

With an `.xmt_bin` file, the essential action is loading its Parasolid-based solid and surface geometry into CAD or CAE applications, enabling you to examine the part, check measurements, generate drawings, or extend modeling inside SOLIDWORKS, while also allowing import into simulation tools like other CAE systems for meshing and physics analysis.

If your goal is sharing with someone whose software doesn’t handle Parasolid well, you can convert the file through your CAD exporter or a translator into formats like STEP AP214/AP242 for solid accuracy or legacy IGES for older surface workflows, or into mesh formats like STL/OBJ 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.

Opening an `.xmt_bin` generally means either importing it directly through a Parasolid-capable program or renaming it for tools that only list `.x_b`, as the direct method relies on choosing Parasolid in File → Open/Import to bring in the geometry cleanly, while the rename approach works by copying and renaming the file to `.x_b`, letting the importer accept it since both extensions represent binary Parasolid transmit data.
