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.

Programs that open and convert CCM files:

STAR-CCM+
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. CCM files are often referred to as STAR-CCM+ data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
CC:Mail (Mailbox) by IBM
e.g., INBOX.CCM This was a Lotus product. Lotus was bought out by IBM.
Multimedia Fusion (Custom Menu) by Clickteam
Multimedia game creation; Clik N Create, The Games Factory can open some. This file is reserved for custom menus exported from Multimedia Fusion. All Multimedia Fusion projects contain a menu that is saved with the .CCA file; however, any number of menus can be exported and imported as necessary.

CCM format details:

To find out what program is needed to open CCM files, you need to determine the file format. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the CCM files:

As a file extension, CCM isn't very common and includes different formats for the applicable programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in CCM files:

20% of all CCM files have the same signature @(#)ADF Database>. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. Most of these files are 20 KB to 7 MB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. The keywords @(#)ADF Database>, A02011, fCbt, LBAdF and LLAdF are typical for these files. bluntBody.ccm is a typical file name. Such files sometimes refer to mesh and star.
8% of all CCM files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "<ccm version="1.0" width="" at the beginning. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. CCM files can be up to 490 KB in size, but are often around 7 KB - 89 KB. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <ccm version="1.0", base64, content-bounding-height-in-mm, content-bounding-width-in-mm, data, image, thumbnail-in-base64, viewBox, iVBORw, 0 0 304, 304.8 304.8" and width="304.8.

All other CCM files (72%) have different formats, such as Creative Commons Module music and ADF. Sometimes used for record, goto, database, fefont, small or font. You can get all the details of your CCM file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .ccm file to analyze" above.

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.
