Spicemod is a SPICE modeling spreadsheet developed by Intusoft for Microsoft Windows. Its .phy files store ASIC data used by the program.
Open the file with Spicemod on Microsoft Windows. Use the application's Open command to load the .phy file.
Use Spicemod's own save or export features, if available, to save the ASIC data in another format.

PHYLIP is a free package of programs developed for inferring phylogenies. It was developed by Joe Felsenstein and is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and macOS (OS X).
A phy file commonly contains a multiple sequence alignment or other character data, together with the number of taxa and characters and the taxon names. PHYLIP accepts sequential and interleaved forms of this data.
The file is a text-based input file read by the relevant PHYLIP analysis program. The format remains in use in phylogenetic and bioinformatics software, although the exact rules for taxon names and formatting can vary between strict and relaxed PHYLIP implementations.
Use the appropriate PHYLIP program to read a phy file as analysis input. PHYLIP versions are available for Windows, Linux and macOS.
Because the file is text-based, it can also be inspected with a plain-text editor. An editor may display the contents, but it does not perform the format checks required by PHYLIP.
A phy file does not normally need conversion before use with PHYLIP. To change it to another sequence or alignment format, use a bioinformatics sequence-conversion tool that supports PHYLIP.
When converting data into PHYLIP format, select the required sequential or interleaved variant and check the taxon-name restrictions expected by the program that will read the result.

Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The phy file extension identifies the physical modeling data format used by PhyMod, a software program for Microsoft Windows.
A phy file stores physical modeling data created or used by PhyMod.
PhyMod and the phy format appear to be obsolete, so compatible software may no longer be readily available.
Open a phy file with PhyMod on Microsoft Windows.
Because PhyMod appears to be obsolete, the file may be difficult to open if the original software is unavailable.

The phy file extension belongs to Source, a video game engine and development tool from Valve. Source was used to develop games for Microsoft Windows and other platforms.
A phy file stores the physical collision representation of a model. The Source engine uses this data to determine how the model interacts with the game world and its physics system.
The file is normally generated together with the model's other compiled files by Source SDK tools. It is a supporting file for a Source model rather than a model intended for direct editing, and the format remains associated with Source-based games and tools.
Use the Valve Source SDK tools on Microsoft Windows to work with a phy file. The file is normally read as part of a matching Source model and is not intended to be opened as a standalone document.
To inspect or test the model's collision, use the relevant Source SDK model and physics tools with the complete set of model files.
A phy file generally cannot be meaningfully converted by itself. It is compiled collision data rather than an editable interchange format.
If the original model project and collision geometry are available, modify those source files and recompile the model with the appropriate Source SDK tools. This generates a new collision file instead of converting the existing one.
