What is LUD file?
The file with the extension LUD is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is SINTEF. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. CARE-S InfoWorks Land Use appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use CARE-S to handle this file. This is a program created by SINTEF.
How to open LUD file?
The most common problem when using CARE-S InfoWorks Land Use is that a specific LUD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LUD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LUD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install CARE-S
In this case, you should first verify that the CARE-S application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CARE-S into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LUD files.
Programs to open LUD file
Remember to download programs supporting LUD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CARE-S with LUD files
If, despite the installed application, the LUD file does not start in the CARE-S application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CARE-S application as the default for handling the LUD file.
Step 3. Update CARE-S to the latest version
If, however, after binding CARE-S with CARE-S InfoWorks Land Use there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SINTEF website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LUD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LUD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LUD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LUD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LUD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LUD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SINTEF
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LUD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the LUD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
