What is a TCA file?

TCA files mostly belong to Gamebryo. The TCA file can mean different things in different settings. In one main use it is a textured Character Animation file. It stores data for 3D model motion and the texture details needed in game engines like Gamebryo.
Other functions include:

  • TubeCalc Data File: Holds technical data used in tube calculation processes. For details, check out the Advanced Tubular Tech site.
  • Test Case Archive: Contains test cases and even camera image information, sometimes used in control applications.
  • Compressed Bitmap Image: Uses ZIP compression to store thumbnail cache files. This variation is found in applications connected to TurboCAD and is related to systems from Tajima DG/ML by Pulse (Tajima Software).

FilExt.com tip: Each TCA file needs the right software to open it. Often, you can tell which type it is by checking the file header, context, or by the presence of compression data like ZIP.

How do you open TCA files?

You need a suitable software like Gamebryo to open a TCA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TCA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TCA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
