How to open BDD file?

The most common problem when using CARA Sound Radiation Data Format is that a specific BDD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDD 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 CARA Loudspeaker Editor

In this case, you should first verify that the CARA Loudspeaker Editor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CARA Loudspeaker Editor 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 BDD with CARA Loudspeaker Editor. Below is a list of programs that support the file BDD.

Programs to open BDD file

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

Step 2. Create association of CARA Loudspeaker Editor with BDD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BDD file still does not use the CARA Loudspeaker Editor 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. 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. 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 CARA Loudspeaker Editor application as the default for handling the BDD file.

Step 3. Update CARA Loudspeaker Editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CARA Loudspeaker Editor program with the CARA Sound Radiation Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDD 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:

The BDD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BDD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BDD file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BDD 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BDD file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BDD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BDD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BDD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
