All about CCM Files

The CCM file type is primarily associated with STAR-CCM+.

CCM	File extension: CCM
	File type:	simulation data file

What is a CCM file

CCM files mostly belong to STAR-CCM+. The CCM file extension is used in several specific ways. The most common variant is the STAR-CCM+ mesh file, which contains simulation data used in engineering and computational fluid dynamics. This file holds mesh structures and simulation parameters that advanced simulation programs use for modeling and analysis.

STAR-CCM+ Mesh File: Stores mesh data and simulation settings. Use STAR-CCM+ software to open and view its contents. More details can be found on the Siemens website.
Compressed Font File: Carries compressed bitmap font or font data files. Such files are used in systems like Symbian OS and even on platforms such as the Dreamcast.
ZIP Archive: In some cases, the CCM file is simply a zipped archive created using the ZIP format (for example, via WinZip), which groups files together.

The key is to determine the file's origin. If the file comes from a simulation tool, it will need the corresponding STAR-CCM+ application. For compressed fonts, a compatible font editor or viewer should be used, while a standard archive tool will open a ZIP archive.
FilExt.com note: This file extension shows that similar naming can serve diverse functions, so checking the file’s header or metadata may help identify the correct application for opening it.

How to open a CCM file

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

How to solve problems with CCM files

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