Child parts in STEP file have _000 appended to the file name

We're using Creo 9.0.9.0 to import STEP files saved by Catia 3DExperience R2018x. Whenever we import an assembly we get the child parts added in with the filename as <part number in catia>_000. The _000 isn't shown in the STEP file when opened in a text editor, so I have no idea where it has come from. Is there any way to turn this off?

 

Many thanks!

I don't know if this applies to your problem, but in another post, someone replied to make sure the file was exported in AP214 format.
