Livewire is an electronic circuit design and simulation program from New Wave Concepts. Its native document format uses the .lvw file extension.
An .lvw file contains a circuit design saved from Livewire, including the components and connections needed to work with the circuit in the program and simulate its operation.
The format is associated with the Microsoft Windows version of Livewire. Because it is a native Livewire document format, compatibility depends on having a version of that software that supports the file.
Open an .lvw file in Livewire on Microsoft Windows. In Livewire, use the program's Open command and select the file, or associate the .lvw extension with Livewire so that double-clicking the file opens it there.
Open the file in Livewire and use any export options provided by the installed version if the circuit needs to be saved in another format.
