Programs to open AQDB file

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

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Workbench platform with AQDB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AQDB file still does not use the ANSYS Workbench platform program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 AQDB file with the ANSYS Workbench platform application.

Step 3. Update ANSYS Workbench platform to the latest version

If, however, after binding ANSYS Workbench platform with ANSYS Workbench Data Format 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 ANSYS Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AQDB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AQDB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AQDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AQDB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair AQDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AQDB 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. It is best to move AQDB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AQDB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AQDB to close. However, some background programs may block the AQDB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
