What is ANG file?

The file in the ANG format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. The creator of this file is TSS-Transport Simulation Systems. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. AIMSUN NG Related appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The AIMSUN application is recommended to open the file. It was released by TSS-Transport Simulation Systems.

How to open ANG file?

The most common problem when using AIMSUN NG Related is that a specific ANG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ANG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ANG 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 AIMSUN

In this case, you should first verify that the AIMSUN application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AIMSUN into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ANG with AIMSUN. Below you will find a list of applications that support ANG files.

Programs to open ANG file

Remember to download programs supporting ANG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AIMSUN with ANG files

If, despite the installed application, the ANG file does not start in the AIMSUN 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 AIMSUN application as the default for handling the ANG file.

Step 3. Update AIMSUN to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the AIMSUN program, it is possible that AIMSUN NG Related requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the TSS-Transport Simulation Systems website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANG file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ANG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ANG file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ANG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ANG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ANG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ANG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use TSS-Transport Simulation Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ANG files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ANG file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ANG file again. 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.
