What is an SLWREPLAY file?

SLWREPLAY files mostly belong to SolidWorks. SLWREPLAY files record simulation sessions by logging events and commands rather than storing full video data.
This format, known as Superliminal replay, functions by capturing the sequence of actions during a session. When you open the file with its originating software, these logged events are interpreted to recreate the session step by step.
Key points as outlined by FilExt.com include:

Event logging: Instead of saving frames, the file stores instructions.

Playback functionality: The software reads the log to replay the original session.

Efficient file size due to absence of full multimedia data.

FilExt.com tip: The file is also sometimes called a SolidWorks Replay file in alternative contexts. You will need the original application that generated the file to open and view it properly.

How to open SLWREPLAY files

You need a suitable software like SolidWorks to open an SLWREPLAY 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 SLWREPLAY file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application.
