When I convert from v4 to v5 catia either using the batch program or cut-n-paste, the resulting catpart files have a model tree but I am not able to see the solid or surface data?
Can someone tell me what this means or how to see these data?

There is no "cut" and paste. You need to do "copy" (Ctrl+C) and paste, and then you should be able to see your solid part.

Check out CATBlog!
 
Check what you have in hide, have experienced that sometimes after converting v4 to v5 I get stuff in hide.
 
Also make sure that you update your CATPart. Usually, I find that it is in need of an update, even if I chose As Result.
 
Thank you all for your responses. They are correct however
The disappearing multiple solid bodys with the data conversions was a catia session settings problem.
See Tools/Options/PartInfrastructure/Display do not check 'only current body'

i unchecked this and now can view the entire database at once
