The ANISO file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ANISO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ANISO file on each system platform.
What is ANISO file?
The ANISO file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Chemical Crystallography Laboratory, Oxford. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Chemical Crystallography appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use CRYSTALS to handle this file. This is a program created by Chemical Crystallography Laboratory, Oxford.
How to open ANISO file?
The most common problem when using Chemical Crystallography is that a specific ANISO is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ANISO 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 ANISO 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 CRYSTALS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CRYSTALS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CRYSTALS into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ANISO files.
Programs to open ANISO file
Remember to download programs supporting ANISO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CRYSTALS with ANISO files
If, despite the installed application, the ANISO file does not start in the CRYSTALS application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ANISO file with the CRYSTALS application.
Step 3. Update CRYSTALS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CRYSTALS program, it is possible that Chemical Crystallography requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Chemical Crystallography Laboratory, Oxford website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANISO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ANISO 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 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ANISO file. Sometimes virus-infected ANISO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ANISO file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ANISO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Chemical Crystallography Laboratory, Oxford help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ANISO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ANISO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ANISO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ANISO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ANISO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
