How to open HMD file?
The most common problem when using SWAT Relative Humidity Input is that a specific HMD is not associated with the program. This causes the file HMD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HMD 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 SWAT
In this case, you should first verify that the SWAT application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SWAT in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HMD files.
Programs to open HMD file
Remember to download programs supporting HMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SWAT with HMD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HMD file to open in the SWAT application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SWAT application as the default for handling the HMD file.
Step 3. Update SWAT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SWAT program, it is possible that SWAT Relative Humidity Input requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Grassland, Soil & Water Research Laboratory page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to HMD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HMD file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HMD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HMD file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HMD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Grassland, Soil & Water Research Laboratory
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HMD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the HMD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HMD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HMD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
