The G01 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the G01 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the G01 file on each system platform.
What is G01 file?
The file in the G01 format belongs to the Graphic Files category. The creator of this file is U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. HEC-RAS Geometry Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The HEC-RAS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
How to open G01 file?
An often recurring problem with HEC-RAS Geometry Format is that G01 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file G01 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the G01 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install HEC-RAS
The first step is to check if the computer has the HEC-RAS program installed. To do this, enter the name HEC-RAS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file G01 with HEC-RAS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open G01 files.
Programs to open G01 file
Remember to download programs supporting G01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HEC-RAS with G01 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the G01 file still does not use the HEC-RAS program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the G01 file with the HEC-RAS program.
Step 3. Update HEC-RAS to the latest version
If, however, after binding HEC-RAS with HEC-RAS Geometry Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G01 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the G01 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file G01 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover G01 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the G01 files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular G01 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file G01 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move G01 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the G01 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
