Identify the Source: A file from a model train enthusiast is likely an AnyRail railroad layout. If from a systems engineer, it may be an AnyLogic simulation model.
Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text or hex editor:
- Readable XML/JSON suggests structured data.
- "PK" indicates a ZIP archive.
- Unreadable binary implies a proprietary format.
Use the Original Software: The original app is usually required, such as DRail's AnyRail (for CAD layouts) or AnyLogic. If unsure, ask the sender.
