An RFL file is a data file used by ANSYS, a powerful engineering simulation software system developed by Ansys, Inc. The RFL file contains results of a finite element analysis (FEA) performed in the environment of ANSYS. It stores the numerical data associated with an FEA solution, such as stresses, temperatures, and displacements, which can also be viewed in graphical representations. The RFL file may also contain information regarding the type of load and boundary conditions within an analysis.
The RFL file is a key part of the ANSYS workflow and is uniquely identifiable by its file extension .RFL. Other related files extensions include .RTH, .OUT, and .DB. As an essential component of the ANSYS workflow, RFL files are used to store accurate results of an FEA study for further analysis. They provide a numerical summary of the analysis without the accompanying graphics, which may be stored in other related files.
Related File Types
Aside from RFL files, Ansys also uses several other file types associated with finite element analysis. These include ANSYS geometry (.AGDB) files, macrodeck (.MSG) files, journal (.JMPL) files, and MECHATRONICS (.MCF) files. All these files are used to produce FEA solutions like the information stored in RFL files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RFL) 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 .RFL 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 .RFL 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 .RFL 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 .RFL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RFL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RFL 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 .RFL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RFL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RFL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
