The MRMC application is recommended to open the file. It was released by RWTH Aachen University.

How to open REW file?

The most common problem when using MRMC Markov Reward Model Checker Definition is that a specific REW is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open REW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the REW 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 MRMC

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MRMC is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MRMC in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file REW with MRMC. Below is a list of programs that support the file REW.

Programs to open REW file

Remember to download programs supporting REW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MRMC with REW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the REW file to open in the MRMC 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the REW file with the MRMC program.

Step 3. Update MRMC to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MRMC program, it is possible that MRMC Markov Reward Model Checker Definition requires a newer version of the program.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 RWTH Aachen University page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REW file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the REW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 REW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover REW 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 REW files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged REW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting RWTH Aachen University, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted REW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move REW to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file REW to close. However, some background programs may block the REW file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
