The RAT file extension is associated with CAD and CAM applications from Autodesk, including AutoCAD Civil for Microsoft Windows and Autodesk Civil 3D. A RAT file contains rational method data used in stormwater and drainage analysis.
The file is a binary data file intended for use by Civil 3D or another compatible Autodesk application rather than for direct editing as a text document. It forms part of the application's analysis data.
RAT files are opened through the Autodesk application associated with the project or analysis that created them. They are not a general-purpose CAD or CAM drawing format.
Open the file from Autodesk Civil 3D or another compatible Autodesk application using the project or analysis workflow that created it. The Autodesk application is required to interpret the binary rational method data correctly.
A text editor or general CAD program will not provide a useful view of the file's contents.
To use the data elsewhere, open the file in Autodesk Civil 3D or another compatible Autodesk application and use the application's available analysis, export, or reporting options.
