File extension FLW description:
A “flow” is a sequence of programs invoked to synthesize, implement, simulate, and configure a design. For example, to implement an FPGA design the design is run through the NGDBuild, MAP, and PAR programs.
The flow file is an ASCII file that contains the information necessary for XFLOW to run an implementation or simulation flow.

XFLOW is a command line program that automates Xilinx synthesis, implementation, and simulation flows. XFLOW reads a design file as input as well as a flow file and an option file. Xilinx provides a default set of flow files that automate which Xilinx programs are run to achieve a specific design flow. For example, a flow file can specify that NGDBuild, MAP, PAR, and TRACE are run to achieve an implementation flow for an FPGA
