The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C3D1 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 Chem3D
The first step is to check if the computer has the Chem3D program installed. This can be achieved by typing Chem3D into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open C3D1 file
Remember to download programs supporting C3D1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Chem3D with C3D1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C3D1 file still does not use the Chem3D program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Chem3D application as the default for handling the C3D1 file.
Step 3. Update Chem3D to the latest version
If, however, after binding Chem3D with Chem3D Cartesian 1 Chemical Modeller there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CambridgeSoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C3D1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The C3D1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C3D1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the C3D1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected C3D1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of C3D1 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C3D1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CambridgeSoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C3D1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move C3D1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the C3D1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
