The HCP file extension is primarily associated with HydroCAD, a stormwater modeling software developed by Innovative Water Solutions. This software program is used to analyze the hydraulics of above ground or below ground piping systems for the purpose of determining peak flow rates, pipe pressure loss, and other related variables. It can be used to design systems for low-pressure or gravity calculations, as well as for structures such as holding tanks.
File Contents Info
Files with the HCP extension are project files generated by HydroCAD and contain complete designs used for hydraulic analysis. This includes the layout and schematics of the system (e.g., pipe sizes, elevation data, etc.), settings for how to determine results (e.g., routing type, integration method, and other input assumptions), all of the data stored during the session (e.g., generate results, system profile). The HCP file extension can also include other details like current units of measure set, simulation engine associated with this project, size of the nodes in the system being analyzed etc.
Similar File Extensions
Other related and similar file extensions include HCD, H2C, HEX, HYM, HYY, HRD, HLB, etc.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .HCP) 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 .HCP 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 .HCP 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 .HCP 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 .HCP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HCP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HCP 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 .HCP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HCP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HCP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
