How do saved Inventor 2013 files be opened by CATIA V5?

File:  Save As

And Pick Catia5 Fromat from the pulldown at the bottom.

Or, do you want to open native Inventor files in Catia,  if so you might want to visit the Catia Forum.

I believe that CATIA V5 was released in 2013. When you encounter software of the same year release it's tough for the other software mfg'rs to know what changes the other software mfg'rs are going to make to their software.

You will most likely have to export out to a neutral format such as IGES or STEP.

A quick check in Inventor 2013 shows CATIA V5 as an available format. You need to do a "Save Copy As" in order to get non-Inventor formats.
I would try the native CATIA format first, if that has issues then try STEP or IGES as Blair suggested.
