What is WWR file?
The WWR file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Denmark. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. WAsP Resource Grid is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open WWR file?
The most common problem when using WAsP Resource Grid is that a specific WWR is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WWR, 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 WWR 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
In this case, you should first verify that the WAsP application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WAsP into the operating system search engine. 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 WWR files.
Programs to open WWR file
Remember to download programs supporting WWR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WAsP with WWR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WWR file to open in the WAsP 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WAsP application as the default for handling the WWR file.
Step 3. Update WAsP to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WAsP program with the WAsP Resource Grid file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 WWR 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 WWR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WWR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WWR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WWR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WWR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WWR files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Denmark, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WWR 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move WWR to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WWR 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.
