Convert a file to FME

To convert other file formats to the "Failure Mode Analysis File" file type, you need software like APIS IQ-Software or a similar tool.


About FME files

.FME files primarily store Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) data. They are used in engineering, manufacturing, and quality management to document potential failures in a product design or assembly process. Alternatively, the extension is used as an FME Mapping File by Safe Software for spatial data ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows.

These are highly specialized, proprietary data containers typically generated by expensive, niche software like APIS IQ-Software or ReliaSoft XFMEA. Because they are closed formats, .FME files are notoriously difficult to share. They require the recipient to have the exact same software license to open them and cannot be natively viewed in web browsers or standard office applications.

Users frequently need to convert .FME files to XLSX, CSV, or PDF to share risk analysis tables and Risk Priority Numbers (RPN) with management or external clients. Standard online converters fail completely when attempting to process .FME files because the underlying binary or custom XML schemas remain undocumented. Often, only the original authoring software can correctly interpret and export the complex data hierarchies. If our analysis detects readable strings or supported embedded elements, viewing or partial conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your FME file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted FMW, CHK, DWG, TTP, LCP, ASO and PYTHON files.

The FME Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FME converter.
