Your problem would not be precisely because you are switching to an earlier version of Solidworks. Because basically if you save a part or assembly under the 2016 version of solidworks, you won't be able to open it on solidworks 2015, 2014, 2013.....

Normally not, because a STEP file is supposed to be a neutral file.
Otherwise to try to answer your question, have you saved your STEP in "AP214" or "AP203"? If you recorded it as "AP214", try to save it as "AP203".
The problem comes from the configuration not adapted to CAD, then I see that in the log you have an SP0 version of Solidworks 2013. So an update is in order.
-I actually tried the 2 AP versions for the same result.
-It always crashes on the recognition of functions.
-indeed it's a kind of sequel although at the time I was working with 2016 which was too long given my config and that with 2013 it goes much faster but here it is crashing on the recognition of functions.
-I join the step.
If it comes from the graphics card, then why is the recognition going well with the 2016 version?
-with parasolid it's the same
-it's better to 2012 SP4 or 2013 SP0, for my part I consider 2013 SP0 equivalent to 2012, I don't have 2013 SP3.
-cobra, can you tell me more, I don't see how to run featureworks, it's grayed out?
-with interactive recognition, I have the same problem.
What do you call the standard version, because I only installed SW and not the other add-ons?
If not, how many SPs are there and where can I find them?
In addition I have this message that appears on the crash:
--------------------------- FeatureWorks --------------------------- The SolidWorks database is missing. Not all features will be available. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
Yes I saw the difference, it's sure that a standard would suit me greatly, I think it would be less heavy for the graphics card as well as for the ram, what do you think?
I found complènets and freatureworks but it doesn't change anything, still the crash and this message about the freatureworks library.
