What is an FCE file

FCE files mostly belong to FaceGen Modeller. The FCE file is not a one‐size‐fits-all type. Its main role is as a face animation file that stores 3D face data for facial modeling. In this form, FCE files contain essential parameters that define face shape, texture, and expression. They are used with software like FaceGen Modeller. For more details on this use, visit the FaceGen website.
Other implementations include:

  • Drawing Data File: FCE files here are used by Trimble Business Center from TopoLT and are known as FastCad drawing files.
  • Simulation Data File: In this case, the file holds forces and moments data used by simulation tools such as Fluent and FlowVision.

FilExt.com tip: Each type of FCE file is formatted for its intended software. Opening them in a text editor will not reveal the structured data needed for animation, drawing, or analysis.

How to open FCE files

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