Open SVD File

The SVD extension has the possibility of acquiring various formats, depending on the application that generates them, some of them below:

Polytec Scanning Vibrometer

In this first case, SVD files also stands for Scanning Vibrometer Data, meaning that it becomes a data file created by Polytec's scanning vibrometer devices.

A vibrometer is used to measure the durability of objects subjected to stress and deformation, as well as rotating work (engines) and heat from movement.

Sweep vibrometers are used by test and simulation engineers to measure structural vibrations.

The SVD file is a data file that contains a record of the data collected during a stress test, and is provided as input to the PSV Software, a program that displays stress results.

Roland Musical Instruments

In this case, the SVD file is an audio file used by Roland keyboard synthesizers.

The SVD file contains 'patches', which are adjustments that fine tune the playback of a digital instrument.

SVDs are often used to store instruments and effects, and are typically loaded onto a Roland synthesizer via a USB key.

Dassault Systemes SolidView

Here, the SVD file is a CAD file created by SolidView, a 2D and 3D computer aided design software.

The SVD file stores the geometry and measurements of a part or assembly.

The SVD format is used by structural engineers, technical illustrators, manufacturing engineers, and other professionals to save CAD designs.

SVD files can be viewed with the SolidView/Lite version.

SolidView Lite also provides the ability to measure the layout.
