What is an M_P file?

M_P files mostly belong to SOLIDWORKS. M_P files are used as CAD mass properties reports by SOLIDWORKS. They are text files encoded in UTF-8 that hold data related to a design's physical characteristics.
These files record measurements such as weight, volume, center of mass, and inertia values. They are generated during analysis in a CAD system and help engineers verify a model's physical parameters.
  • They are stored in a simple text format that can be viewed with basic text editors.
  • The data is meant for integration with CAD applications to facilitate design checks and simulations.
  • The format is primarily used by SOLIDWORKS, and similar files may be produced by systems like PTC Creo Parametric.
