What is an MTB file?

MTB files mostly belong to MT Manager. MTB files are specialized data containers that several programs use to store diverse types of information.
For example, some MTB files contain binary sensor data from motion tracking systems, such as those managed by MT Manager in Xsens setups. Other programs use the same extension to hold material databases – these files store data tables of material properties and are part of engineering or simulation workflows with tools like AutoForm.
In addition, MTB files can house game models. In these cases the file may be a ZIP-compressed archive used by simulation games (for example, Train Simulator or Disney Infinity), where the archive stores 3D game assets.
Other identified use cases include:
  • Multi-Track Bank files often associated with statistical projects (linked with Minitab)
  • XML-based MultiTimer board files
  • Measurement test bench data backups
  • FilExt.com notes: The file’s structure may be binary, XML, or compressed, so its functionality depends on the originating application. It is important to identify the source program to choose the correct tool. For more details on material data files, please see the AutoForm website.

    How do you open MTB files?

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

    Programs that open and convert MTB files:

    1. MT Manager
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. MTB files are often referred to as MT Manager data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.

      (a macro file)

    MTB file format:

    A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension or signature does not match the file format, errors will occur when opening or editing the file. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our examination of the MTB files comes to the following conclusion:

    The MTB file extension includes various formats for various programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in MTB files:

    All other MTB files (55%) have different formats, frequently e.g. ZIP, BNDL and MTD. The category is passenger, validate, song, peakindex, rheingold, songs, table, total or demo. If you want to find out what your MTB file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

    How to solve problems with MTB files

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