This article will discuss the different DRF file formats and provide guidance on opening and using these files in their respective applications.

DRF File Formats

CAD Files

DRF files can be CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files created by Dr. Frame 3D, a structural analysis software used in civil and mechanical engineering. This format stores 3D models and design data and can be opened using the Dr. Frame 3D software. Visit the Dr. Frame 3D official website for more information.

Proprietary File Formats

Some software applications may use DRF file extensions for proprietary file formats. For instance, the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator uses DRF files to store hardware and software information. These files can be opened using the corresponding application. Consult the application's user manual or support site for further assistance.

Other Data Files

DRF files may also contain other types of data, such as Log ASCII Standard (LAS) files used by the petroleum industry. To open such DRF files, you might require specific software that can handle the data format, such as Petrosys.

Opening DRF Files

Opening DRF files depends on the software or application associated with the file format. As mentioned earlier, Dr. Frame 3D uses DRF files as CAD files, and these can be opened using the software. Similarly, proprietary software using DRF file formats requires the relevant application, such as Dell OpenManage Server Administrator for opening Dell files.

If you are unsure which application to use, or you don't have the associated software, some universal file viewers like File Magic might be able to open DRF files. However, it is always best to use the appropriate software for the specific DRF format.
