How to open AGDB file?
An often recurring problem with ANSYS DesignSpace is that AGDB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file AGDB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGDB 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 ANSYS DesignSpace
The first step is to check if the computer has the ANSYS DesignSpace program installed. This can be achieved by typing ANSYS DesignSpace into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AGDB.
Programs to open AGDB file
Remember to download programs supporting AGDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ANSYS DesignSpace with AGDB files
If, despite the installed application, the AGDB file does not start in the ANSYS DesignSpace 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ANSYS DesignSpace application as the default for handling the AGDB file.
Step 3. Update ANSYS DesignSpace to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ANSYS DesignSpace program, it is possible that ANSYS DesignSpace requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ANSYS Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AGDB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AGDB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AGDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AGDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AGDB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ANSYS Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGDB 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 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. It is best to move AGDB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AGDB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
