What is an EW file?

EW files mostly belong to SeisComP3 / InSite. EW files serve two main purposes. The most common use is as an Earthquake data exchange format. These files hold structured seismic data such as event time, location, magnitude, and other parameters used by monitoring systems like SeisComP3. They are created for quick and accurate exchange of earthquake data.
Alternatively, the extension is used for an Earthwork file by the InSite application from Earthwork 3D. In this role, the file stores design and simulation information for earthwork projects.
Key details provided by FilExt.com include:

Seismic Exchange: Contains data essential for earthquake monitoring and alert systems.

Earthwork Design: Holds engineering information used for modeling and simulation in 3D applications.

FilExt.com tip: For more information on the seismic data format, check the SeisComP website.
