What is a FEP file?

FEP files mostly belong to SCAD Office FEA. The FEP file extension is not tied to a single format. It can indicate one of several specialized data files, each designed for a specific application.

Finite Element Program: These files hold simulation models and analysis data for engineering tasks such as structural analysis. They are produced by dedicated finite element analysis systems (for example, those from SCAD Office, linked with the Fidesys FEA System, see SCAD Office FEA).

Sage Report Database: In other cases, a FEP file is a database report file generated by ERP or accounting software like Sage 100 ERP. These files use the JetDB internal format to manage financial data. More details are available at Sage 100 ERP.

Flight Environment Package: Some FEP files store information for flight planning. They serve as a flight plan file that contains environmental data used in aviation simulation or operations.

FilExt.com notes: Each version of an FEP file is created to work with its own dedicated software. Check the file’s properties to determine its origin. Once the source is known, use the corresponding application to open the file. Avoid renaming or manually editing these files as they are structured for precise tasks.

How to open a FEP file

You need a suitable software like SCAD Office FEA to open a FEP 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 FEP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FEP file directly in the browser:.

FEP file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our analysis of the FEP files produces the following result:

The FEP file extension is not found very often and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. But the following two file formats are common:

70% of all FEP files start with the bytes $1c4fa916-097c-4299-8622-cad05941acbe, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The average file size is 2 MB with most files being between 62 KB and 26 MB in size. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The files contain the following words: $00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000g and $1c4fa916-097c-4299-8622-cad05941acbe. Such files sometimes refer to blok.
10% of all FEP files use the popular JetDB file format. The JetDB is a database format often used by Microsoft Access and Visual Basic programs. JET is short for Joint Engine Technology. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are often between 110 KB and 380 KB in size. The keywords Standard Jet DB are typical for these files. Some examples of file names are PrmExp.Fep.

All other FEP files (20%) have different formats, the following 4 formats exist: ZIP. They are often associated with node, sensor or care. If you want to find out which format your FEP file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .fep file to analyze".
