A `.XMT_BIN` file is commonly treated as a Parasolid binary transmit geometry file containing the real solid and surface definitions from the Parasolid engine, allowing CAD programs to exchange precise model structure in a compact binary package that favors speed and cannot be inspected in plain text.

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 `.

With an `.xmt_bin` file, the primary purpose is to import the Parasolid solid/surface model it contains into other engineering environments, allowing CAD users to inspect geometry, measure, create drawings, or build further features in systems like Siemens NX, and similarly send the geometry into CAE platforms such as ANSYS Workbench for meshing and simulation steps.

If Parasolid isn’t well supported on the receiving end—because their tool can’t read Parasolid well—you can export to universal formats such as STEP for solid geometry or IGES for surface-heavy models, or to mesh types like STL when needed, understanding that meshes lose true CAD fidelity; you can also import the geometry to run healing/repair operations before re-exporting, and an `.xmt_bin` is useful diagnostically to test whether issues persist after translation, helping pinpoint modeling vs. conversion faults.

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.
