How to open BK0 file?

Step 2. Create association of Aspen HYSYS with BK0 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BK0 file still does not use the Aspen HYSYS 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BK0 file with the Aspen HYSYS application.

Step 3. Update Aspen HYSYS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Aspen HYSYS program, it is possible that Aspen HYSYS Backup requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Aspen Technology, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BK0 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BK0 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BK0 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BK0 file. However, remember that not every infected BK0 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BK0 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BK0 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Aspen Technology, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BK0 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. If possible, you can try to move the BK0 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BK0 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
