How to open CAE file?
The most common problem when using Abaqus CAE Model is that a specific CAE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CAE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CAE 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 Abaqus/CAE
The first step is to check if the computer has the Abaqus/CAE program installed. To do this, enter the name Abaqus/CAE 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 is a list of programs that support the file CAE.
Programs to open CAE file
Remember to download programs supporting CAE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Abaqus/CAE with CAE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CAE file still does not use the Abaqus/CAE program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 CAE file with the Abaqus/CAE application.
Step 3. Update Abaqus/CAE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Abaqus/CAE program with the Abaqus CAE Model 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 CAE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CAE file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CAE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CAE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CAE 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CAE files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CAE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the CAE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CAE to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
