What is a .FHC file?
The .FHC file extension is a type of data file specifically used by a program called FHC, which stands for Full Hydraulic Calculation. This program is designed to help with the management and planning of fire sprinkler systems. The data stored in an .FHC file includes important information like a list of pipes, the sprinkler heads, nodes (which are points where the pipes connect), and other project-related data. All of this information together represents a hydraulic network, which is essentially the layout and functioning of the fire sprinkler system. FHC uses the data in these files to perform calculations on the hydraulic network. This means it can analyze how water will flow through the system, ensuring that in the event of a fire, the sprinklers will work effectively and efficiently to cover the area needing protection.
To open a file with the .FHC extension, you would need to use the Canute FHC program. This is the software specifically designed to create, view, and manipulate FHC Data Files. Without this program, it would be difficult to access or use the information stored in an .FHC file since it is formatted to work with the FHC software's unique features and calculation capabilities.
