Bulk data file mesh export / import?

I'm trying to import some GID meshes into Catia using .dat format (bulk data file) created by export to NASTRAN. However Catia keeps reporting an error in file (which isn't there, because it imports to Fluent normally, as a Nastran file).
Export of .dat files from Catia works normally and I import the meshes to Fluent as NASTRAN file import... what could be the problem? How do I get .dat files into Catia?
