What is an FME file?

FME files mostly belong to FMEA Pro.

Purpose: FME files store data used in Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. They record details of potential failures, their causes, and the effects on systems or processes.

The files are used by specialized software such as FMEA Pro. They allow users to document and evaluate:

Failure Mode Identification - Listing possible errors or defects.
Effect Analysis - Assessing the impact of each failure.
Risk Management - Outlining actions and controls to reduce risks.

These files are integral for technical review and risk assessment in engineering and quality control. They often contain structured data that some users may export into more common formats like CSV or XML when further analysis is needed.

FilExt.com note: To open and view an FME file, you should use the FMEA Pro application or a compatible tool that supports FMEA file structures.

How can I open an FME file?

You need a suitable software like FMEA Pro to open an FME 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 FME file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FME file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

How to solve problems with FME files

Associate the FME file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest FME file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available FMEA Pro update.
To make sure that your FME file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
