Tech/Engineering - Computers: Systems, Networks / CATIA/3D modelling
German term or phrase: CATIA File-Töpfe
Context:

"Zunächst können über die UNIX Catia Search die CATIA V4 File-Töpfe durchsucht werden."

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this, but it doesn't seem to be an obvious literal translation such as "file pots" or "file containers".

Cf.

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/4411924
etc.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Technical description
* Target audience: Aerospace engineers
* Country and dialect (source): Germany
* Country and dialect (target): American English

Explanation:
I have seen Filetoepfe used before in German! An amusing term. As far as I am aware CATIA (only seen V5, not sure about V4 but presume the same - I do know the V4 server only ran on Unix and not Windows), like many CAD systems, uses a database to reference files which otherwise have names that are incomprehensible, so presumably any search would actually be on the database itself, not the filestore (which, incidentally, is what I would translate Filetoepfe as).
