How to open RWC file?
The most common problem when using WAsP Regional Wind Climate is that a specific RWC is not associated with the program. This causes the file RWC 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 RWC 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 WAsP

Programs to open RWC file
Remember to download programs supporting RWC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WAsP with RWC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RWC file to open in the WAsP application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RWC file with the WAsP application.
Step 3. Update WAsP to the latest version
If, however, after binding WAsP with WAsP Regional Wind Climate 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 Wind Energy Division at Ris? DTU, Denmark website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RWC 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. This suggests truncating the RWC file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RWC file. Sometimes virus-infected RWC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RWC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RWC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Denmark help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RWC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RWC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 RWC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
