The ANT file extension belongs to the CalcAnt Saved Calculation software. This type of file is used to store calculations made in the software. It also saves all the settings used during the calculation process for later use. The ANT files are typically created within the CalcAnt software for storing calculation results and settings.
Technical Details
A typical ANT file typically contains text based program code as well as possible binary data. ANT files are ASCII encoded with UTF-8 format, but they are not in a human-readable format. All the data found in an ANT file can be manipulated by the CalcAnt software, but it is impossible to do so using any other software on the market. The ANT files use the .ant extension; other related extensions include .fnc, .grf and .num.
Usage
The main use of an ANT file is to allow users of the program to re-edit calculations made by programs such as CalcAnt and also to save changes that have been made. By saving a calculation in an ANT file, it makes it easier to make changes when necessary and even transfer calculation results from one computer to another. Other uses of ANT files include sharing calculated equations with colleagues or as a way of storing calculations for other user-made programs.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ANT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ANT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ANT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ANT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ANT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ANT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ANT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ANT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ANT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ANT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
