Polish term or phrase: open vs. opened
"W załączeniu przesyłam model otwarty w systemie CATIA".
Takie coś ma być napisane po angielsku. I tutaj przyznam się szczerze trochę mnie zaćmiło czy w zdaniu:

"Enclosed, the picture of the last model open in CATIA." mam użyć "OPEN" czy "OPENED"

Explanation:
You don't give very much context, so it's difficult to be sure. However, to me it look as as if what you need is the Passive Voice. Your suggestion used a reduced clause structure and it seems fine to me, from what I can tell. What's more, without more context, it's probably the safest way, since you manage to keep the form but avoid the pitfall of tenses :-)

agree  TechWrite: ja bym poszla jednak na OPENED, bo model zostal OTWARTY... Nie zgadzam się z kolegą Matwiejczukiem,że to to samo co "open model" i "open code",ponieważ to raczej odnosi się do źródla niniejszych niż do projektu,który zostal otwarty w jakimś programie.IMHO
