What is an RCH file?

RCH files mostly belong to SWAT.

SWAT Output File: This RCH file often holds simulation data from the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. It records information from river reaches such as flow, sediment, and nutrient loads. For more details, visit the SWAT website.

3D Model File: In other cases, the file stores 3D model data. It can be associated with platforms like Autodesk Revit Cloud Worksharing, Autodesk ReCap, and even Ren'Py projects, holding geometric and design information.
