Opening a GRA File
The GRA file type is primarily associated with NI Multisim.
What is a GRA file?
GRA files mostly belong to NI Multisim. Primary use case: GRA files are most often used in electronics workbench applications such as NI Multisim. They store graphs generated during circuit simulation and analysis.
Other uses:Some GRA files hold grapher data from graphing calculators. Others serve as game resource archives, known in some cases as the Jester graphic archive. FilExt.com notes: The internal structure of a GRA file depends on its origin. For simulation graphs, the data is optimized for display in software like NI Multisim. For calculator data and game archives, the file contains specific resource information that must be handled by specialized tools. To learn more about simulation files, visit NI, and for game resources, see JAST USA.

How to open GRA files
You need a suitable software like NI Multisim to open a GRA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GRA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GRA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert GRA files:
- NI Multisim
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. GRA files are often referred to as NI Multisim data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- Flight Simulator File by Microsoft Corporation
- Graph (Chart) by Microsoft Corporation
- Notes (5 Language Dictionary File) by IBMThis was a Lotus product. Lotus was bought out by IBM. Lotus Notes and Domino are a fundamental component of IBM Workplace. IBM introduced the IND file type. Related links: IBM Lotus Notes Wikipedia Page

GRA file format:
To find out what program is needed to open GRA files, you need to determine the file format. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the GRA files is as follows:
The GRA file extension is not common and is used by different programs with different formats. The two most popular formats are as follows:
- 25% of all GRA files start with the magic bytes CompressedElectronicsWorkbenchXML, which are always the first bytes of this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are on average 14 KB in size and range from 2 KB to 690 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The following keywords are characteristic: eP7+f, hp$x, 9T[Mw and CompressedElectronicsWorkbenchXML. Files like these are sometimes connected to design, simulation and graph, and often include person-related information.
- 9% of all GRA files start with the bytes SP6 crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The average file size is 12 KB with most files being between 6 KB and 14 KB in size.
All other GRA files (66%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. BOSS. Sometimes used for small. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your GRA file!

a gra data file is a special file format and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.
How to solve problems with GRA files
- Associate the GRA file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest GRA file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available NI Multisim update.
- To make sure that your GRA file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
