How to open AEDT file?

Programs to open AEDT file

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Electronics Desktop with AEDT files
If, despite the installed application, the AEDT file does not start in the ANSYS Electronics Desktop application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AEDT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AEDT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AEDT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AEDT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AEDT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AEDT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AEDT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AEDT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the AEDT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AEDT file again. However, some background programs may block the AEDT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
